Wild black cherry is a large tree which grows from Nova Scotia to Florida and as far west as the Dakotas and Arizona. Growing up to 100 feet high and reaching 4 to 5 feet in diameter, the trunk is covered with rough, black bark. The alternate, stiff, oblong to oval leaves have serrate margins and are shiny green above and ligheter underneath, the small white flowers grow in lateral racemes, appearing when the leaves are half or more grown. The fruit is a nearly spherical, purple-black drupe, a half inch or less in diameter, ripening in late summer and autumn.

Astringent, sedative, stomachic, The bark of wild black cherry was once a favorite ingredient in cough and cold medicines. Its effectiveness was attributed to a sedative action on the respiratory nerves. American Indians had many uses for wild black cherry; one tribe used a tea made from the inner bark to ease pain during labor; others used a tea of the bark for diarrhea and lung problems. A decoction of the inner bark served one tribe as an enema for hemorrhoids; and another tribe cured dysentry by drinking the juice of the ripe chrries which had been allowed to ferment for a year. CAUTION; The leaves, especially when wilted, have poisoned cattle.
