black cherries
Prunus serotina fruit
Black cherries are the fruit of the wild cherry tree native to North America, distinguished by their dark purplish-black skin when ripe and slightly bitter flavor compared to sweet cherries.
They grow wild throughout eastern North America and are commonly used in jams, pies, and to flavor liqueurs and sodas.
The black cherry soda had that distinctive almond-like undertone.
The wood of the black cherry tree is prized in furniture making for its rich, reddish color.
