Black cherry (Prunus serotina) is also known as wild black cherry, mountain black cherry, and rum cherry. The fruit has been used to flavor rum and brandy (“cherry bounce”). Their small fruits are edible and are eaten raw and used in wine and jelly. Moreover, it leaves, twigs, bark, and seeds produce a cyanogenic glycoside. In fact, the inner bark, where the glycoside is concentrated, was used historically in the Appalachians as a cough remedy, tonic, and sedative. Black cherry wood is a rich reddish-brown color and is strong, hard, and close-grained. Additionally, it’s one of the most valued cabinet and furniture woods in North America.
