A plum-cherry hybrid is a hybrid between Chinese or Japanese plum ( Prunus salicina and its hybrids) and sweet cherry ( Prunus avium). Although it is often called cherry plum, it has no relation to the cherry plum species ( Prunus cerasifera). It is also known as plerry (more like a plum) or cherum (more like a cherry). [1] Commercial plum-cherry hybrids include 'Nadia', [2] CherriYum!, Verry Cherry Plum (cherum hybrids, including 'Sweet Pixie', [3] 'Sweet Pixie 5', [4] etc.) and Pluerry (complex plerry hybrids [5]).
Not all hybrids marketed as "cherry plums" are plum-cherry hybrids. For example, Sprite Cherry-Plum [6] and Delight Cherry-Plum [7] are actually Russian plums ( Prunus × rossica).
