A, Prunus besseyi. A specimen in a garden where maximum development of the bushy luibit indicates 
possibilities for soil and wildlife-cover planting. B, P. demissa. The fruit of the western chokecherry is 
of considerable value for wildlife. In planting it for erosion control care must be taken to guard against 
possible stock poisoning. C, P. ilicifolia. The ability of the hollyleaf cherry to coppice after killing 
of its aerial portions enhances its erosion-control value. (Photograph by II, S. Forest Service.)
