Prunus fremontii is a North American species of plants in the rose family, known by the common name desert apricot.[2] It takes its scientific name from John C. Frémont.[3] It is found in northern and western Baja California especially, mostly Pacific and western, and the adjacent area of southern California. It also occurs in northern Baja California Sur.[4][5][6]

Prunus fremontii is a deciduous shrub or small tree reaching up to five meters (16 2/3 feet) in height. Flowers are white or pink, blooming about the same time as the leaves unfurl in the Spring. Fruits are yellow and egg-shaped.[7]

The fruits were an important food for Native American groups, such as the Cahuilla.[8]
