The white flowers are large and fragrant and appear in early May. They are borne in slender drooping clusters. It differs from other wild and garden cherries in having flowers in long cylindrical spikes. The fruit is black, about 1/3” or less, and taken by the birds. This low-branched tree is rounded to about 15-20’. May Day Tree is available in single stem and clump form. The European Bird Cherry has a moderate life span relative to most other plant species and a moderate growth rate. This small-fruited cherry tree is frequented or fed on by birds!
