Escarpment Black Cherry

Prunus serotina


Escarpment Black Cherry is a refined, moderately fast-growing native tree prized for its long, drooping clusters of fragrant white flowers that adorn its branches each spring in an impressive seasonal display. A Texas Hill Country native variant of the widespread Black Cherry, it is particularly well-adapted to limestone soils and the dry, rocky conditions of the Edwards Plateau. Its small, dark fruits are irresistible to birds, making it one of the most wildlife-productive trees you can plant, while its attractive, glossy foliage and handsome bark add ornamental value throughout the growing season.
