To grow cherry trees, plant the tree in well-draining soil in full sun. However, some cold-hardy cherry trees can withstand temperatures in zone 4. After blooming, clusters of sweet or sour cherries appear.Ĭherry trees grow in USDA zones 5 through 9. Cherry blossoms grow in small clusters, hanging from bare branches. Usually, cherry trees are in bloom for two to four weeks. Typically, fruit from cherry blossom trees is too small and sour to eat-although they are a favorite of many birds.Ĭherry trees blossom in spring between mid-March and mid-April. There are sweet cherries ( Prunus avium), sour cherries ( Prunus cerasus), and ornamental cherry blossom trees. Species of cherry trees are categorized by their fruit or blossoms. Cherry trees are deciduous trees, famous for their sweet or sour stone fruits called drupes and their eye-catching blossoms. And Holly trees have small red berries and leaves with sharp, pointed lobes.The blossoms of cherry trees have whitish-pink color.Ĭherry trees belong to the genus Prunus and are in the family Rosaceae. Red Oak leaves are rounded at the base but jagged or spiny along the edges. White Oak trees have lobes that are rounded along the edges and no spines.

If the lobes appear to radiate from several points along the midrib, the leaves are considered pinnate and it is either an oak or a holly tree.

Trees with star-shaped leaves with pointed lobes are likely Sweetgums. And leaves that look like they have been cut off or flattened at the top with two lobes on other side of the mid-rib are probably Poplars. Sycamore trees have big leaves that are larger than four inches with shallow lobes and alternating (not directly across from one another,) on the branch. Maple trees have three to four lobes and are arranged opposite of one another on the branch.

If the lobes seem to radiate from a central point like fingers on a hand, it is called palmate and it is a maple, sweetgum, sycamore, or poplar.

If your tree had leaves with different lobe patterns on the same tree, it is probably a Sassafrass or a Mulberry. And if it has elliptical leaves with jagged edges, it is probably a Cherry. If your tree's leaves are soft and shiny with teeth that curve in from the surface, it is probably a Beech. If its leaves are heart-shaped with double serrations, it is likely a Birch. Elm trees are asymmetrical at the stem and double serrations around the edge. Basswood trees have wide leaves with coarse teeth and a notched area around the stem. If your tree has leaves that are oblong or elliptical and appear crowded on short branches, it might be a Blackgum. And if its leaves are thick and pointed, it might be a Persimmon. Dogwoods have wavy edges and 6-7 veins that pattern either side of the leaf's midrib.

Live oaks have long slender deciduous leaves and small acorns.

Magnolia have large, glossy green leaves with rust-colored hairs on the under-surface.
