Although its own fruits tend to be bitter, it is one of the parents of most European cultivated Cherries.

One of the most attractive of our woodland natives, this becomes a medium to large tree with a broadly rounded form.

Its white flowers in spring are followed by foliage which often shows good autumn colouring of red and gold.

A good tree for parks and woodlands.

Mature height: 10-15m
