Origin: Europe, the Middle East,
Caucasus. Deciduous tree with broad, oval
or round crown. Straight trunk with
reddish-brown, shiny bark marked with
transverse rings. Green leaves, 6-15cm
long, oval-elongate, which turn yellow or
amber in autumn. Numerous white
flowers, simple, 2.5cm wide, grouped in
clusters. The flowers begin to open just
before the leaves. Fruit: small, red, edible
cherries, sweet-and-sour. It is used a lot
as a root-stock for more productive
congeners. In Italy it can be found in
beech woods and in spring when it is in
flower it stands out creating attractive
splashes of white. Grows well in clay soil
as long as it is well drained.
