identify possible cherry tree

May 25, 2006 3:39pm CST
Have a tree in front of the house which appears to be a cherry tree; it has very dark red simple petal flowers. It came with the house but has never borne fruit. Could this be a cherry tree ? Ornamental only or fruit bearing? Leaves are also mostly reddish burgundy

Cherried - Cherry tree in full blossom - so sweet!
Hi chboy43, My understanding is that it can take anywhere between 3 - 6 years before a cherry tree is in full blossom. The leaves are a bit rubbery and thick and I so love to visit our Botannic Gardens in IL during the month of July as they are quite in full bloom at that time. Here is a picture of what they look like in full bloom. Enjoy!

Cherry trees have very ligh pinkish flowers...Not sure what kind of tree you have there, but don't eat any berries from it until you know for sure.
