Growing Information

This deciduous tree thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining, adaptable soil. Moderate watering is recommended, especially during establishment. The Wild Black Cherry can reach a mature height of 50 to 80 feet and is best planted directly in the ground rather than containers. For optimal growth, plant in a sunny location with ample space, water consistently during the first year, and mulch around the base to retain moisture and protect roots.
