This widespread, fast growing, native tree is the largest and most important native cherry. It has showy white flowers in May followed by red, turning to black, fruit. Black Cherry's fruit and flowers attracts birds and butterflies, and is used by humans to make beverages and jams. This tree will be tall and thin if crowded or planted where it will receive too much sun. Black Cherry has a distinctive blocky bark that lifts at edges and is prone to stump sprouts.
