Also known as the Mazzard cherry, this deciduous tree is native to Europe and Asia. Blossoms are white and the bark is a red mahogany. It has been cultivated since ancient times and is the source from which our present-day eating cherries are derived.

Mazzard cherry grows 60 feet tall and spreads 30 to 40 feet. The tree tolerates any garden soil but likes a sunny, protected site. The growth rate is rapid and transplanting should be easy. The white flowers appear in April or May. The fall color is bronze and red.
