Prunus
Stone fruits, also known as drupes, include peaches, cherries, plums, and apricots. These fruits have a central pit or "stone" surrounded by sweet, juicy flesh.
Stone fruits typically grow in well-drained, fertile soils in sunny locations such as orchards, gardens, and open fields.
The pits of stone fruits can be toxic if consumed in large quantities, so care should be taken when eating.
