It is one of the largest of the cherries, typically growing to 50-80 tall with a narrow-columnar to rounded crown. The Black Cherry tree produces hard, reddish-brown wood that takes a fine polish and is commercially valued for use in a large number of products such as furniture, veneers, cabinets, interior paneling, gun stocks, instrument/tool handles and musical instruments.
