Prunus napaulensis is a species of bird cherry native to the eastern foothills of the Himalayas, including Nepal, Myanmar and China. A tree, it can reach 27 m and prefers to grow between 1800 and 3000 m above sea level. The fruit is edible, and it is cultivated for its fruit in Assam and Ukhrul District, Manipur (and presumably elsewhere).[3][4][b] Its wood is used locally for making furniture.[5] It goes by many common names across its range, including jangali aru and arupate (Nepalese), arupaty (Bengali), sohiong (Khasi), sajong (Assamese), theikanthei in Tangkhul, and 粗梗稠李 "crude stalk thick plum" (Chinese).[3] Prunus bracteopadus is a very similar species, possibly conspecific.[6][7]
