Prunus avium is a medium-sized broadleaved tree distributed widely throughout Central Europe. It is fast-growing and short-lived and can reach diameters of >100 cm. The wood is reddish and of moderate to high density. It is highly valuable and used for panelling and cabinet making, veneers and musical instruments.
Wild cherry supports but moderate numbers of herbivore species, most of which are shared with other Rosaceae trees or shrubs, or even with other broadleaved trees. Significance for herbivore insect biodiversity is therefore not that high.
