Experience with wild black cherry (prunus serotina)
I know that black cherry is a keystone species that supports many types of pollinators and birds. But is it a good tree to have in the yard? I have several small saplings volunteering along our fence in areas that are pretty heavily shaded, and I am wondering about moving one to a sunnier area. We live in a typical suburb with an approx. 1/3 acre lot, zone 9a. I'm concerned about whether they are "messy" once they start fruiting, though. Any Redditors have experience with this tree?
