Rosaceae

Prunus

Pensylvanica

The Pin Cherry grow in woods and by roadsides. This particular Pin Cherry can be found behind the red shed in the backyard, growing from underneath and out from the shed. It's a few feet away from the rock wall and the forests on the other side of the rock wall. The soil of this area is usually moist due to being in the shade most of the time, and becuase there is a lot of moss growing out of the ground, storing water. I picked this tree because of how important this tree is to bringing plant life back to decimated areas of wilderness.
