cherry
+1 Cherry
 
Really?? Wouldn't it have fruit on it? I think it gets little berries at some point but nothing resembling a cherry.
 
It is cherry for sure. I do not think it ever makes the fruit like you eat, it is a different type.
It definitely burns well.
 
Sweet. I figured it was good wood...the rounds seemed really heavy. Thanks.

I have one in my yard the coons love it in August when it drops its berrys. Must be a laxative thow becoase they leav scat all over! Yep it burns well also!
 
looks like the scrappy black cherry that grows around here.
berries can be red until they start dropping. white cluster flowers in the Spring.
berries look like a long skinny bunch of miniature grapes
