Among the hardiest, this wonderful 20-30' cherry tree is famous for its bright cinnamon to golden attractively peeling bark; 2-3" racemes of white flowers in spring mature to small ¼ " glossy black cherries which can be used in jellies or juice; yellow fall color is not particularly bright, but the bark creates great winter interest.

This is the hardiest of the cherries. It is well worth growing for its excellent bronze bark which peels off in strips like some of the birches. It has a profusion of white flowers in racemes 2-3" long followed by small black fruits. Grows to 45' tall and wide.
