Prunus pennsylvanica, Linn. (Cerasus pennsylvanica, Loisel. C. borealis, Michx. Prunus borealis, Poir. P. persicifolia, Desf. Cerasus persicifolia, Loisel.). Common Wild Bird or Pin Cherry. Fig. 3235. Shallow-rooted tree with slender red-barked branches, 25-40 ft. high and sometimes 1 1/2ft. in diam. of trunk: lvs. oblong-lanceo- late-acuminate. light green and rather thin, closely sharp - serrate : fls. small, white, slender-stalked, appearing with the lvs., in 2's or 3's: fr. the size of a pea, light cherry-red, the flesh thin and sour and somewhat puckery: stone oblong. Sandy and rocky lands, Newfoundland to Brit. Col., and south in the mountains to Colo, and N. C. S.S. 4:156. B.M. 8486. —Where the tree grows naturally, it often sprouts inveterately and becomes a nuisance. When bruised, the wood has a strong peach-like odor. It is an interesting ornamental tree, however. In poor soils, it is often little more than a bush. On large trunks the bark tends to peel in transverse strips. Var. saximontana,Rehd., of the Rocky Mt. region, is shrubby in growth, with smaller and broader pale green lvs. and few-fld. sessile umbels.
