The Fuji cherry ("Prunus incisa") gets its Latin name from the deep incisions on the leaves. A dainty slow-growing, early white-flowering cherry, it is a century-old cultigen from Hondo, Japan. It 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" 'Umineko'. [More, D. & J. White. (2003) "Cassell's Trees of Britain & Northern Europe." London:Weidenfeld & Nicolson. p. 535]
