The native cherry tree of the Pacific Northwest, including Washington state, is the bitter cherry
(Prunus emarginata), a small tree or shrub with white flowers and small, red, bitter-tasting fruit.
Distribution: Bitter Cherry is found from southern British Columbia to southern California along the coast through the Cascades and Sierra Nevada; east to the Rocky Mountains of Idaho and Montana, and in isolated communities in Wyoming, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico.
Habitat: Bitter Cherry trees may be found in moist, second growth forests, often along streams, which is where these trees are located at the end of Bowthorpe.
