Prunus pensylvanica

Fire Cherry — also called Pin Cherry — is a fast-growing native pioneer tree of disturbed forest openings, clear-cuts, burned areas, and roadsides across the northern United States and Canada, where it is usually the first woody species to colonize forest gaps and recently disturbed sites, earning the name 'fire cherry' for its rapid colonization of burned forest. The clusters of bright red, pea-sized cherries ripen in summer and are among the most important late-season wildlife fruits in northern forest ecosystems, heavily consumed by American robins, cedar waxwings, grosbeaks, ruffed grouse, bears, and deer during the late summer fattening period before winter. Short-lived by nature — typically 15–30 years in the wild — Fire Cherry grows extremely fast for a native cherry, reaching 20 feet in just a few years and serving as a pioneer nurse species that modifies the site for longer-lived forest trees to follow. Plant in moist, well-drained, acidic soil in full sun; Fire Cherry thrives in open, disturbed conditions and makes an excellent fast-growing wildlife planting for northern gardens, fields, and woodland restoration projects. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 120–240 дюймів Висота: 180–360 дюймів Дні до схожості: 30–90 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 4–13°C

Fire Cherry is a fast-growing pioneer species that thrives in disturbed, open, forest-gap conditions; it grows too fast to compete well in established forest understory. Seeds require 90–150 days of cold stratification before spring germination.
