Botanical Name: Prunus serotina
Country of Origin: USA
English Name: Wild Cherry Bark C/S
French Name: Écorce de Cerisier Sauvage Coupée
Also Known As: Black Cherry Bark
Part Used: Inner and outer bark of Prunus serotina
Description: Wild Cherry Bark C/S is prepared from the bark of Prunus serotina, a medium to large deciduous tree native to North America and commonly found in mixed woodlands and forest edges. The tree typically reaches heights of 15 to 30 metres, developing glossy dark green leaves and small white flowers in elongated clusters during spring. Smooth reddish-brown bark on younger trees becomes darker and more textured with age. Bark is harvested from mature trees, where it displays layered surfaces and consistent thickness suitable for processing.
After harvesting, the bark is carefully cleaned to remove natural debris and dried using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve its fibrous structure and natural colour. Once dried, it is cut and sifted into uniform fragments, producing firm, woody pieces with visible layered textures. This process maintains the botanical integrity of Prunus serotina while creating a consistent cut suitable for blending and infusion.
The finished Wild Cherry Bark C/S displays a reddish-brown to deep brown colour with coarse, fibrous texture and irregular bark strips. The pieces remain stable during storage, retaining their visual identity and mild woody aroma over time. The cut and sifted format allows for easy handling, accurate measuring, and uniform blending for various applications.
Uses: Wild Cherry Bark C/S is commonly used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, and aromatic preparations where dried bark material is preferred. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, bath products, botanical sachets, craft projects, and educational collections demonstrating tree bark structure and deciduous forest species. The cut and sifted format allows for precise portioning, easy blending with other botanicals, and versatile use in both home and professional environments, offering consistent quality and visually identifiable bark fragments.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
