In this episode, I read the entry for Mazzard (Prunus avium L.) or Sweet Cherry. It is interesting to me that the last bit of this description imagines the future of the famous Washington D.C. cherry trees in 100 years. From the vantage point of 96 years later, they were absolutely right about the beauty of the annual Cherry Blossom Festival! How interesting that we never use the term "mazzard" to refer to sweet cherries anymore!
