Bitter Cherry, also known as Oregon Cherry, is a hardy Idaho native shrub that is widely dispersed due to its adaptability to a variety of sites and elevations. Best established on full-sun sites, it can tolerate partial shade. With potential for 3+ feet of growth a year, it can be a great ornamental to bring color and beauty to a new-build or restoration site quickly. Beautiful white cherry blossoms in the spring give way to bright red fruit before ripening into a dark purple/black color. True to their name, what little fruit is produced around the seed is bitter and unpalatable for humans but used extensively by wildlife. Native
