Cherry.
Cherry courtesy Wikipedia.
This grows to quite a large tree & will do well in poor soils & exposed sites. It can be recognised by its smooth pale brown bark, marked by fine horizontal splits. It stands out in spring by reason of its plentiful show of white blossom. The leaves are long pointed oval with roughly serrated margins. They drop down from the twigs. The fruit soon devoured by the birds, is bitter unpalatable to our taste. The cherries are somewhat smaller than the cultivated variety & are black when ripe. In Autumn the foliage turns a beautiful crimson.
