About Black cherry

Black cherry is a real treasure for any yard. Birds absolutely love its dark fruit, and you'll see them gathering on branches throughout the season. The tree puts on a lovely show with delicate white flowers in spring, and its leaves turn beautiful shades in fall. It's a native plant that belongs here, which means it fits naturally into your landscape and supports the wildlife that depends on it.

Growing black cherry is refreshingly simple. This tough perennial does just fine in part shade, though it's happy in sunnier spots too. It's naturally a strong grower, whether you let it develop as a shrub or allow it to become a small tree. Once established, it needs very little fussing from you. Plant one and you'll be rewarded with years of beauty and bustling wildlife activity.
