Description
xGrow a magnificent North American native with our Black Cherry tree seeds. This large, stately deciduous tree is prized for its beautiful, fragrant spring blossoms, valuable hardwood, and its dark, tart cherries. The drooping clusters of white flowers are a boon for early-season pollinators, and the subsequent fruit is a favorite of songbirds and wildlife. The small, dark cherries are too tart for fresh eating but are excellent for making flavorful jams, jellies, and wines. This is a rewarding, long-term project for those looking to add a majestic native tree to their landscape.
