Prunus salicina grows up to 10 metres (33 ft) tall, and it has reddish-brown shoots. The leaves are 6–12 cm long and 2.5–5 cm broad, with serrate margins. The flowers are produced in early spring, each about 2 cm in diameter with five white petals. The fruit is a drupe, 4–7 cm in diameter with yellow-pink flesh. It can be harvested in the summer. When fully ripe it can be eaten raw.
Requires porous cactus soil and adequate airflow. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch.
To keep your cactus healthy, you should cut back the plant whenever it seems to be too large. Typically, if you are pruning to reduce the size of the plant, consider cutting back the plant by at least a third each year.
