Indian Cherry is a small tree (or large, multi-stemmed shrub) to 20’ tall with a rounded to spreading canopy. It is native to the eastern, southeastern US making it more desirable over its European cousins. The foliage is dark, lustrous green all summer turning yellow to orange yellow in the fall. Probably its greatest asset is the colorful fruits that develop late summer/fall turning red and then to black as they mature. These beautiful, sweet fruit also attract several species of birds and can be used to make jams and jellies.
