Black Cherry Up Close
This location was on a skinny path with trees on both sides. We took pictures of the plants around us that looked interesting to us.
 This picture is of a Black Cherry, or Prunus serotina, that we found that had green fruit hanging in a loose cluster. Their fruit's are edible, and they are usually found out in the open. They grow to about the size of 50-75 feet tall. Uses for this type of tree are for veneer and furniture, interior trim, printers' blocks, scientific instruments, woodenware, and gunstocks.
