Cherry

Black cherry trees draw honeybees to their pendulous clusters of fragrant white flowers, offering substantial nectar and pollen that can contribute to early honey flows in temperate climates. Peak bloom aligns with late spring leaf emergence, spanning 2-3 weeks in full sun to partial shade on well-drained soils. This fast-growing deciduous species reaches 50-80 feet and may require pruning to control size, though wilted leaves pose toxicity risks to grazing animals.
