Bitter Cherry has a warm golden honey colour, often with hues of green blueish stripping. Known to the older generation natives as a medicinal tree, as the leaves produce hydrogen cyanide. In small amounts this compound was used to stimulate respiration, improve digestion and give a sense of well-being. The wood has too small amount of toxins to have any harmful effect. Used a lot for furniture as it takes a high lustrous polish. Bitter Cherry has a sweet tap tone, often compared to Mahogany.
