Comments:
A round topped native tree that looks like an earth bound white cloud with it thousands upon thousands of white flowers in early spring. In summer the purple fruit are eaten by bear, feral pigs, white-tailed deer, foxes and many bird species. In autumn its leaves turn yellow. This native does not seem to be as susceptible as other prunus species to insect and disease pests.
