Wild Cherry (Gean) |
|
|
A beautiful tree in the springtime when it is flowering. There
are clusters of white flowers up to 2 cm diameter with five
petals and long stamens.
The fruit appears in June - July as cherries, first yellow
then turning red. Sadly, we never get to eat any of these
cherries. The birds always get there first! The blackbirds in
the garden are especially partial to them.
