About the herb
The inner bark, taken in autumn.
Distinctly cherry-almond, sweet and a little resinous, with the marzipan note the species is known for. Stripped in autumn when it comes away cleanly and dried in the dark, because it is the inner bark that carries everything.
Wild cherry is taken for a dry, persistent cough. The rare chest herb you actually look forward to.
