What is Prunus persica

Kikumomo (scientific name: Amygdalus persica cv. Stellata) is a horticultural variety of the heat-resistant deciduous shrub "Hanamomo " of the family Rosaceae. Momo, native to China, was introduced in the Edo period, and was improved to view flowers in Japan. The flowers of the double flower are gathered together and bloomed in the leaf of the previous year from March to April. The flower blooms like a large number of stamens and becomes pointed.
