Narrative
Type = Cherry. Plants up to 9.12m. Flowers borne singly, fragrant, appearing late April-early May. Root stocks compatible with chokecherry. Used as medium tree component of multi-row field and farmstead shelterbelts, single row field windbreaks, wildlife plantings, and recreational area developments in North and South Dakota and W Minnesota. Not affected by black knot, a limiting factor for this area. Potential usage: for use as the medium tree component of multi-row field windbreaks, wildlife plantings and recreational area developments. Provides food and nesting sites for numerous songbirds and other wildlife. Nonsuckering habit should be advantageous in small farmstead situations or recreational areas as a substitute for chokecherry. This 1952 planting was established with stock from the Gurney Nursery, Yankton, SD. This and other similar plantings in South Dakota are thought to trace to early introductions by J.L. Budd, Iowa State College, from eastern Siberia via the Imperial Botanical Gardens of Russia.
