For centuries, the wild cherry has been cultivated in gardens and its seeds distributed by birds, so that now it is difficult to determine its original, natural area of distribution.
The white mulberry is a small tree growing to a height of 10 to 15 metres and developing a broad crown. The bark is grey-brown and furrowed with longitudinal ridges. The leaves are broadly ovate, often three lobed. The tiny flowers are borne in short dense spikes, usually monoeciously, rarely dioeciously. The milky-white loganberry-like fruit has a bland, sweetish taste and matures in ,June.
The white mulberry requires partial shade and warm climate, Europe's wine-growing regions providing the best conditions for its growth. It is damaged by frost, but has good powers of regeneration by suckers. It is cultivated in parks as a specimen tree, and is also good in tree avenues, and for planting in hedges.
The tulip tree's name is derived from the shape of the flowers which somewhat resemble those of a tulip. It is a native of North America, where it grows from the Canadian border southward as far as Arkansas and Florida. It is found chiefly in moist forests on rich alluvial soils.
The trunk is generally crooked, and the crown has pendent branches. The shoots are thin, the buds small and ovoid. The white (lowers, borne in a loose, upright raceme, appear about a week later than those of the bird cherry. The fruit is a black, spherical ovoid drupe, ripening in late July, with a small smooth stone.
The winged seeds form a cone-like structure and disintegrate in the spring of the following year. The tulip tree is widely cultivated in the parks of western and central Europe for its ornamental flowers, and for its leaves that turn yellow in autumn. The light wood, with yellow-brown heartwood and pale sapwood, is used to make veneers and musical instruments. - 15266
