Hi All,
The yard has for several days had flurries of shedding Black Cherry=20
petals whereas nearby Choke Cherry are in fruit. Most sources indicate=20
Black Cherry to flower earlier than Choke but with a broad overlap.
This disparity is a good example of the large variation of a given=20
character within a species; fodder for evolution.

Subject: [NatureNS] Which Cherry?<br />
<br />
Offhand I would have said this small tree was a Chokecherry (Prunus virgini=
ana). But after checking I see it is more likely a Black Cherry (P. serotin=
a) based on the leaves being fully out while in flower and the length of th=
e hanging flower clusters. Which ID is correct? As the captions say, the le=
aves are ~3=E2=80=9D long.<br />
