Are these choke cherry.

[hunter399]

Think me gots rose hips and choke cherry mixed up.
Some of these bears are moving on to these I think.
East side anyway as the hucks dry up.

Like title says
What are these?

[7mmfan]

They're definitely not rose hips.

[hunter399]

I always thought the rose hips was choke cherry.
Me thinking these are choke cherry.
One more pic of the berrys
A pic of the hot East side sun rising.
Notice the hucks are drying up fast.
North side slopes might still hold some.

Russian Olive?

[whtbck]

chokecherry are usually in tighter bunches and a little darker.Looks like something is eating them.Where they near a creek or river?

[MeepDog]

Russian Olive?

Not Russian olive. I'm not used to choke cherry trees being that big the bears kill them from bending them over. Choke cherries have a single large pit thats almost as big as a normal cherry pit despite the small fruit of the choke cherry.

[Ntbutcher]

Yes they are choke cherries. If you eat them they have a very tart drying effect in your mouth and taste like a sour cherry

[Boss .300 winmag]

This is rose hips, usually not penetrable in large bushes, in a mature thickets.

Ive got several choke cherry trees and a butt load of wild roses which the deer seem to find irresistible.  Elk like them too.

[buckcanyonlodge]

Those are not choke cherries in the last pic. Choke cherries hang in clusters. They also have a different leaf. I have those kind of trees in my yard...sparse red berries throughout the tree. I'll see if I can post some choke cherry pics.

That is not a choke cherry the fruit of a choke cherry is in clusters sort of like a bunch of grapes and each fruit is much smaller - but it is a cherry tree.  All-be-it a wild or seedling cherry tree.  Right bark leaves and fruit.  Almost looks like a pie cherry strain.

They was in like a 25 year old cut.
Which is like thick forest now
All trees with a 16 in diameter or bigger.
No not much water around pretty dry.
Last picture was a lot smaller plant ,but same thing I think.
Not really sure.
Just around them the grass was all smashed down like something was eating on them.
But no bear poop or nothing.
Could been moose or deer or anything .
But I start to take notice when I see the grass smashed up under them berry bushes.

I did smash one berry .
One single pit ,pretty big for a little berry.

Use the camera function on your phone. Bring the photo up then do a google search. Seems to be pretty accurate. But maybe it's just easier to rely on others.

They look more like crab apples to me, but the leaf isn't quite right.  Bark in one photo looks like cherry.  Cut one in half across the middle.  if it has a single pit, its a some sort of cherry or plum. if it is a star like a cut apple, then a crab apple.  If it has neither (small seeds) it is something else entirely. 

[Smokepole]

They are in the prunus genus, but not choke cherries.  Lots of domestic cherries and ornamental laurels get planted by birds, so you have a variety of prunus sports that come up.  There is a native cherry called "bitter cherry" Prunus emarginata that might be a match, but hard to tell by the photos.  Bears love them all.

I have a phone app for plant ID. It said bitter cherry, although it's ben known to be incorrect at times.

Definetly chokecherries

Theyre just played out some, past pull if you will.  I have a couple trees with no fruit left.

[boneaddict]

Hammered chokecherries

[buckcanyonlodge]

The ones in the first two pics are not choke cherries. I have trees in my yard with those type of berries and leaves/bark and I have choke cherries. I have taken a few pics of each. The berries in the trees in my yard that are shown in the first two pics are already gone. If you look at the branches in the posted pics and my pics you'll see the red colored bark on the branches and the leaves are not the same as the choke cherry.The robins have already eaten the red berries but I still have choke cherries...see all pics.  First two pics are the red berrie tree like posted (minus the berries). The next sets of pics are choke cherry leaves and berries.

[buckcanyonlodge]

Choke cherries

[Timberstalker]

Have to agree with Buckcanyonlodge here.

Choke cherries are always in clusters and much smaller fruits.

[YellowShells]

The pics in the original post look like Indian Plum to me. Narrower leaves than choke cherry, and the stems come from a spur, rather than spread out along a stem.

[hunter399]

I would head up there to look around ,but that nasty wild fire smoke is nasty out there.

[buckfvr]

Ya know how huckle berry plants come in a variety of leaf shape and coloration ?  https://www.britannica.com/plant/chokecherry

Took your advise.
Google foo says longstalk holly native to China.
But the next close thing looks like bitter cherry.

[Ridgeratt]

So it will give you a few choices.  I guess you just have to figure out where you and Waldo or Dora are to make a decision. 😎

[jasnt]

Pretty sure that’s bitter cherry

[Boss .300 winmag]

This app works great.

[Angry Perch]

This app works great.

I've been really impressed with it.

Be careful. Choke cherry foliage in the wilted state is poisoness to most animals especially horses. The foliage produce cianide.
The fruit is fine. Had a friend whose neighbor cut down some choke cherry on the property line and both his horses died eating the leaves.

[hunter399]

I still need to get back in there again.
Bears are definitely hitting other feed sources right now.
As most hucks have dryed up around my neck of the wood.
