Prunus maackii is an elegant ornamental blooming cherry tree with a thick, broad-rounded crown that generally grows 20-30' tall. Manchuria, Siberia, and Korea are its natural habitats. Its beautiful, peeling golden brown to russet bark is arguably its most well-known feature. In April-May, fragrant white blooms in 6- to 10-flowered clusters (racemes) emerge. Small, glossy black cherries (1/4” diameter) follow the flowers and mature in late July. Jams, jellies, and juices are made from fruits. The medium green leaves (to 4”) are elliptic to oblong in shape with acuminate ends and serrate edges. In the fall, the foliage turns an unremarkable yellow and frequently drops prematurely.
