Prunus incisa, the Fuji cherry,[3] is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae, which gets its scientific name from the deep incisions on the leaves. A dainty slow-growing, early white-flowering cherry, this century-old cultigen from Hondo, Japan is highly regarded as an ornamental but the wood has no industrial value. It is hardy to -20 °C, and crossed with Prunus speciosa, has yielded the cultivar Prunus .[4] It is in the ornamental section Pseudocerasus of the cherry subgenus Cerasus of the genus Prunus. Ma et al. classified it in a group with Prunus nipponica.[5]
The following cultivars have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit:[6]

'Kojo-no-Mai' is a cultivar suitable for the very small garden, as with judicious pruning it can be kept to a maximum size of 1.5–2 m (5–7 ft). In a large pot it will produce a dome of twiggy growth, and has the added bonus of brilliant autumn colour.[11][12]
