Prunus buergeriana; inu-zakura
A species of flowering cherry native to East Asia. The name literally means 'dog cherry'.
Prunus buergeriana is a deciduous tree that grows wild in mountainous areas.
Usually written in katakana; the kanji form 犬桜 is rare.
Kanji spelling; rarely used in practice.
Compound of 犬 (inu, 'dog') and 桜 (sakura, 'cherry'), likely because its fruit is inedible or inferior compared to edible cherries, similar to other 'dog' plant names.
