Prunus serotina (Black Cherry)
Hello,
I am looking for a supplier of Black Cherry--I think! There is a plant which grows in northern IL that I believe is Prunus serotina, Black Cherry. It is listed as a tree, but what I seem to encounter at the forest preserves and parks is more bush-like. It grows about 15' tall and the root system must sprout multiple stems so that it appears bush-like. The leaves are about 4 inches long and dark green and glossy on top. The underside of the leaf is lighter green. They seem to be extremely resistant to fungus and other forms of predation. I have never seen the cherries on them, and clippings do not take root. If anyone thinks it is another type of plant (Prunus sp. I am sure) I'd like to know what you think it is, and where I might try to get some. None of the typical plant supplier or greenhouses have it around me. Thanks so much! |
