The
biggest distinction in
the growing trees is deciduous versus evergreen - is that at the
familylevel, or a higher one.
Much higher, it's one of the first couple

latter). It doesn't mention Plumwood. The only Prunus mentioned is Cherry,
Prunus serotina in the US - and P. avium and P. padus in Europe - all are P.

I think cherry would be quite similar, but personally I've only used
plum.
I thought the genera was prunus, but I dont have any ref handy, so better look
