These small deciduous trees prefer fertile clay soils over chalk and are a common component in beech woods. Wild Cherry spreads over most of the British Isles and throughout Europe, with the exception of Scotland.

- When well grown and canker free it provides a valuable timber more quickly than any other broadleaved tree.

- It’s timber is used for furniture as it has a hard, fine grained, red-brown wood which will polish up to a deep, shiny brown colour.

- Maximum height 60ft (20m).

- They can age up to 200 years

The Wild Cherry grows with a straight trunk and a rounded crown.

Its leaves are bronze when young, turning yellow and crimson in autumn. Densely double white flowers in mid-season in April/May. Its fruit of small red berries are not poisonous, but are not edible. They will however provide a feast for birds in early summer.

The expected growth rate is 0.5m per year. Growing to 8m after 10 years, 14m after 20 years.
