Bird Cherry is a small, short-lived deciduous tree or shrub. It is found throughout northern Europe and in many areas of Asia. In the U.K. it is mainly found in the more upland areas of the west and north.
The bird cherry is hardy and grows in various climatic conditions, including harsh winters and hot summers. It is tolerant to a wide variety of soils and a variety of harsh conditions. It grows back strongly when cut down and can regenerate profusely in the right conditions.
The fruit is important for several bird species and is also used in jams, as a flavour in alcoholic beverages and in traditional medicine. The wood is of low commercial interest but its decorative spring flowers make the tree valuable as an ornamental in parks and urban areas. It is also suitable for shelterbelts and its roots are useful to mitigate the effects of soil erosion and to stabilise slopes.
