Wild Cherry is a medium-sized, fast-growing deciduous tree. It is a pioneer species which is initially quick to colonize clearings, woodland edges and glades; however, it is often later out-competed by other longer lived hardwood species.
Wild Cherry is most at home on fertile, deep, light, silty soils with a good water supply but it is able to tolerate a wide range of soils, but preferably slightly acidic. It is very hardy, but its flowers may be damaged by spring frosts.
The wood is straight, easy to work with, and has a reddish-brown colour and smells of almonds, making it attractive for use in producing furniture, decorative joinery, cabinetry, veneer and musical instruments. The tree’s bark is characteristically shiny, with large lenticels and peels.
It is one of the first trees to flower in the spring and produces masses of white blossoms, making it a valuable ornamental tree. The fruit has been a source of food for humans for many thousands of years and is also beneficial to several bird and insect species.
