Prunus serotina

Black Cherry

In May, beautiful long tassels of white flowers droop from the branches. In September, red fruits ripen to black. The dark green leaves turn yellow to red in fall. The fruit is edible but can be messy and seedlings can be a problem if not tended. A terrific food source for birds.
