Prunus emarginata
Bitter Cherry.
I've seen Prunus emarginata in only two spots now. One was around Grants Grove at @7800 ft in the Sierras, under Pines in seeps and draws on the north slopes and above Cambria in a seep at about 2000 ft. We've not been successful in any quantity yet. We could have used a hundred or more for the Lodge, but so far, they want their bear(they eat them) and their climate. Sorry, I've not go the bear to eat them yet.
