- Most of the fresh plums sold in North American supermarkets are " Prunus salicina " cultivars.
- Another tree, " Prunus japonica ", is also a separate species despite having a Latin name similar to " Prunus salicina "'s common name.
- "Prunus salicina " should not be confused with the " Prunus mume ", a related species of plum also grown in China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam.
- Plant breeder Luther Burbank devoted a lot of work to hybridizing this species with the Japanese plum ( " Prunus salicina " ) and developed a number of cultivars from the hybrid.
- Burbank devoted a lot or work to hybridizing two plum species, the apricot plum or Simon plum " Prunus simonii " and the Japanese plum " Prunus salicina ".
- Notable varieties still grown today include " Assiniboine " and " Cheney " . " Prunus nigra " has the same number of chromosomes as " Prunus salicina ", the cultivated Japanese plum, and so the two cross-pollinate readily.
- For example, the word " m?n " refers to two different fruits : it is used for " Prunus salicina " ( a type of plum ) in the North, while in the South it refers to " Syzygium samarangense " ( the rose apple ).
