Black Cherry (Prunus serotina)

Black cherry (Prunus serotina) is a fast growing, medium-sized tree native to south-eastern Canada, the United States, and parts of Mexico. Its black fruit is occasionally used in food and beverages, and also provides important mast for many species of wild birds and mammals.  As a nectar source for many bee species and larval host to dozens of butterfly and moth species, black cherry plays a key ecosystem role.   This is our largest native cherry.

This species needs lots of sunlight to thrive.
