You have a chokecherry in that video. The leaves are wider. Black cherry leaves are thinner and more lance like. The chokecherry tastes best when black too. The chokecherry ripens weeks before the black cherry. With black cherry/ Rum cherry, where it attaches to the stem is a star like bract. Chokecherry smooth where it attaches to the stem. Chokecherry is a shorter shrub or small tree and does grow in groups. Black cherry most often when it fruits, it's fruits are out of reach. I can only get at my lands black cherry trees with trees that fell over in storms but still grow. My childhood home I had to pull out a 6 ft ladder and only got the lower branches. They can both be used the same but I personally think chokecherry is the best. The black cherry has that medicine like flavor. When looking for the black cherry I also turn the leaf over to look for that brown hairy streak up the center of the leaf around 3/4 of it. I also like the sniff test in the fall where you snap the leaf apart and there will be that faint whiff of almonds.
Thank you for this informative video. I just found black cherry tree in the woods next to my home. I am so excited to start harvesting from it. What month are the ripe?
I'm in the process of making a black cherry/pear vinegar for a North Carolina style barbeque sauce, the juice I used for the first batch is store bought but eventually I want to grow my own for it. I would love to find wild black cherry.
Can you use the wild carrot? Did you save the inch worm from the cherry bag? I've been labelling my jam as choke cherry, but after watching this, I think it's mostly black cherry! How do you get all the seeds out of the pulp for the fruit leather?
+Alice George Hi Alice! You can use wild carrot though we are really past the season for it. However, you might find some good roots if you can find soft ground. We'll cover it next year closer in time to the season. My upcoming book has a fair bit on wild carrot in it, too. I am retooling the video series: productions will be much more professional beginning shortly, so presentation of the flora will be much more helpful. I didn't even notice that inch worm when I was shooting the vid. My attention was focused on ensuring the cherries were in focus. It probably fell off somewhere along the way. Next year we will begin a series on cooking wild food, too. Daphne will go into how she makes fruit leathers, among many other things. But she uses a very strong, fine stainless steel colander along with a rod to press the softened fruit mush away from the seeds.
Actually he has a Canadian accent which sounds like a television announcer to American ears. In other words, his consonants are more clearly pronounced and his vowels are more open. There are many English accents in both American and Canada, but for the most part Canadian English is more clearly pronounced than the media-driven Modern American English which attempts to be jazzy and cool. Many people pronounce their consonants in American, but many other do not. Canadian English is refreshingly clear. I love accents!

You're absolutely correct. I had black cherry on my mind and no way to change it after posting.

I have many wild and black cherry trees in my yard, and I love to eat them at will. I have brewed the bark tea and it is wonderfully refreshing.
It's very expensive in my place coz it's making for 🍷expensive wine. .
Doesn't it kill the tree to take the bark?
Is it legal to harvest chokecherries from parks?
Now what?
The cherries begin at 1:50 in case anyone else wants to know.
So cool thank you for the video, im in Edmonton and I've seen massive bushes but didnt know what they were.

I think I have a volunteer black cherry tree in my garden. This is helpful information. It's in bloom now.
I hope it turns out to be that. If you live in the Maritime provinces, wild cherry trees are ubiquitous in rural areas.
Are they edible?
Can you take a cutting and grow it in a pot?
Sorry, missed this post. I am sure you could. It's very hardy.
Can you use the wild carrot?
Did you save the inch worm from the cherry bag?

I think that is a choke cherry...My black cherry trees are 70 feet tall...You cant get to the cherries anymore.
He sounds like he's acting. Good video though!

I need a gun but I can't find any in the forest.
