The Bird cherry tree, Prunus padus, is a beautiful and versatile tree species that adds a touch of natural beauty to any landscape.

With its attractive clusters of white flowers and edible black cherries, this tree is highly valued for its ornamental and practical uses.

The Bird cherry tree is native to Europe and Asia, and is commonly found in a variety of habitats, including woodlands, meadows, and hedgerows. It is a medium-sized tree that typically grows to a height of 7-15 meters, making it a great choice for small to medium-sized gardens.

Its dense foliage provides excellent shade and shelter for wildlife, while its wood is highly valued for its durability and strength.
