Wiki description:

[ edit ] Description The black cherry is a species in the subgenus Padus and is a deciduous tree growing to 15–30 m tall with a trunk diameter of up to 70–120 cm, occasionally more, with flowers in racemes . The leaves are simple, 6–14 cm long, with a serrated margin. The flowers are small (10–15 mm diameter), with five white petals and about 20 stamens, and are fragrant; there are around 40 flowers on each raceme. The fruit is a drupe , 1 cm diameter, green to red at first, ripening black; it is usually astringent and bitter when eaten fresh, but also somewhat sweet. The fruit is readily eaten by birds . [ 2 ] [ 4 ] Closeup of bark A mature black cherry can easily be identified in a forest by its very broken, dark grey to black bark, which has the appearance of very thick, burnt potato chips. However, for about the first decade or so of its life, the bark resembles that of a birch , and is thin and striped. It can also quickly be identified by its long, shiny leaves resembling that of a sourwood , and by an almond-like odor when a young twig is scratched and held close to the nose. [ 5 ] [ 6 ]
