Prunus serotina
Black cherry

Alternate, simple and lanceolate-ovate to slightly lanceolate-obovate, the 2-5" leaves are folded along the midrib and have serrulate margins with small incurved teeth and glandular petioles near the base of the blade. The leaves are typically slightly glossy and glabrous above and slightly pubescent along the midrib below. The leaf apices are acuminate while the bases are cuneate.
