Wild Cherry
Prunus avium
Dormant twig
The fruit is a small cherry, ripening through yellow to a dark purplish-red. It is much favoured by birds.
Wild cherry is common at the edges of woods but is also found growing amongst fully-grown beech trees in a beech wood.
It is easily recognised in the Spring when the whole tree is covered in white cherry blossom.
