Black Cherry (2)
cerisier tardif
Prunus serotina
Black Cherry is a native tree occasionally found in the forest around Ottawa, but almost never planted in the city. It has short stalks of small white flowers that turn into red-black berrylike fruit. On mature trees, the bark breaks into distinctive square sections. The rich reddish brown wood of this tree is highly valued for use in cabinetry. The tree can grow to 15 metres or so. This tree is located along the lowland path, NW of Black Cherry (1).
