Wild Cherry Bark CS (Wild harvested)

Wild Cherry Bark CS (Wild Harvested) (Prunus serotina) comes from the bark of the black cherry tree, a species native to eastern North America. The tree grows naturally throughout forests in the United States and has a long history of use in regional botanical traditions.

Hatton Naturals offers Wild Cherry Bark in a convenient cut and sifted format suitable for herbal infusions, custom botanical blends, craft applications, and traditional preparations. Its warm, woody aroma and characteristic flavor make it a distinctive ingredient for customers looking for classic North American botanicals.

Flavor and Aroma

Wild cherry bark has a warm, woody aroma with subtle almond-like and cherry notes. The flavor combines mild bitterness with a slightly sweet, earthy character.

When prepared as an infusion or decoction, the bark creates a reddish-brown liquid with a rich botanical aroma. Its flavor is noticeably different from cherry fruit. Instead of a fruity sweetness, the bark offers a deeper, more complex profile with woodsy and lightly aromatic notes.

Honey or other naturally sweet ingredients can soften its mild bitterness. Wild cherry bark also works well as part of multi-herb blends where its distinctive flavor complements roots, barks, and warming spices.

How to Prepare Wild Cherry Bark

For a traditional herbal preparation, use approximately 1 to 2 teaspoons of Wild Cherry Bark C/S per 8 ounces of water.

Add the bark to water and heat gently for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Strain before serving. You can adjust the quantity or preparation time according to your preferred flavor intensity.

For a milder drink, use less bark or reduce the preparation time. For custom blends, combine wild cherry bark with ingredients such as ginger, cinnamon, orange peel, marshmallow root, or other aromatic botanicals.

You can serve the finished preparation plain or add honey according to taste.

Botanical and Craft Uses

Wild Cherry Bark C/S works well in a range of botanical applications, including:

• Herbal infusions and decoctions
• Loose botanical blends
• Traditional-style tea recipes
• Homemade bitters and botanical preparations

Its cut and sifted format makes measuring, blending, and packaging straightforward for home users, herbal shops, tea makers, and other botanical businesses.
