Lost a large branch from my cherry blossom tree.  I saved the wood.  Can I season it and cook with it?  How is the taste?  Thank you.

Also, I am not 100% it is a cherry blossom.  It flowered recently like a lot of other trees around town and it DOES have small cherry looking fruit on it.  (I think a cherry blossom does not fruit???)

Sounds like maybe a wild cherry! If it is cherry it will smoke good after it is seasoned. Post a pic of what you have of find out for sure before you use it.

Happy smoken.
