Morphology
This is a straightforward noun–noun compound where 'Fuji' functions as a name/variety and 'cherry' denotes the tree; a B1 learner who knows 'cherry' and recognizes 'Fuji' as a place/name or understands naming patterns can infer it is a type of cherry tree. The meaning is compositional and follows common cross-linguistic naming conventions for plant varieties, so it is predictable from the parts.
Etymology
Fuji cherry likely comes from Japan's famous name Fuji plus the word cherry, because growers there raised a small tree with pale pink flowers. That's why Fuji cherry means 'a small cherry tree grown to decorate gardens with pale pink blossoms'.
