The New York Botanical Garden Plants of U.S.A. Rosaceae Primus serótina Ehrh. det. M. Nee, 2010 NEW York State, Bronx Co., Bronx, along Mosholu Parkway, parkland between the parkway and the street E Mosholu Parkway S. 40°52’13”N, 73°52’52”W. alt. 21 m. This area contained a grove of Fraxinus americana which contracted the “ash decline” in the mid 1980s, and the trees died and were removed. It was replaced by spontaneous growth of Prunus serótina (the most common species, and a common native species in the area), Zelkova serrata, Celtis occidentalis, Morns alba. Tree 15 m. tall, 30 cm. in diameter. Abundant fruit, the ripe ones easily dislodged, glossy black, 0.9-1.0 cm in diameter, juicy and bitter, not edible. Inflorescences with a mixture of immature reddish fruits and ripe black ones, apparently ripening at random on the raceme, not acropetaly as is the case with the flowers. Coll.: M.
