This is one of the many bird-planted chokecherry trees in the understory of the forest out back. Native prunus are one of the best species for wildlife around here. Tell a chokecherry that you love them today
Idzie@CedarTea oh actually I'd love your thoughts on what kind of prunus this bird-planted tree/bush in my yard might be :) https://kolektiva.social/@idzie/116620159136667903

Attached: 3 images Wait this is a prunus isn't it?? A volunteer tree in the yard...
@idzie
I'm split between chokecherry and black cherry. Both great trees, wildly different mature size lol

@CedarTea Thanks for weighing in!! A friend had thought (also just based on photos) it might be prunus padus, which would not be ideal, but I'd happily take either chokecherry or black cherry! There's an old apple tree in the yard that's nearing the end of its life, so a proper tree size wouldn't be a bad thing...
