A remarkable bird cherry can be found on the edge of the Wolfratshauser mountain forest. Due to the special coloring and quality of the wood, the cherry is very noble and valuable.
The fruits are not big and sweet, as little sweet tooths would like. They are small, acidic, non-venomous and “a bird’s dream.” In general, deciduous trees do not grow as straight as a spruce or fir. That's why they wouldn't be particularly suitable for building houses. If it is of sufficient size at the age of 60 to 70 and you want to use the wood,. this is the right time to cut it down. Otherwise you have to expect that “rot will come into the tree, and then the wood will also be damaged” The cherry grows extremely quickly in its youth and is a real whiz kid. “But then it wears off quickly,” reports the expert. Since the cherry requires a lot of light, forest owners usually have to help it.
