Wild cherry (Prunus avium L.)belong

Wild cherry (Prunus avium L.)
belongs to the family Rosaceae
and it is a diploid with a chromosome
number of 2n=2x=16.
The domesticated form cultivated
for fruit is known as
sweet cherry. Wild cherry can
hybridize with the various
other cherry species, especially
where their natural
ranges overlap.
It is a fast growing tree,
with strong apical growth
and most of its lateral
branches are arranged in
annual whorls. The crown is
broadly conical and the trunk
usually straight. The bark is
shiny with large lenticels and
peels horizontally. It is one of
the first trees to flower in the
spring and produces masses of
white blossom. It matures at
around 60-80 years, when trees
are typically 20-25 m in height
with trunks of 50-70 cm in diameter.
Exceptional trees can reach
up to 35 m in height with trunks
over 120 cm in diameter.
