Itself hath suffered too.

A standard white-heart cherry tree, perhaps the finest in Yorkshire, and which, for many generations, had been the pride and ornament of this place, lost two large branches during the gale; ─ Magazine of Natural History, Volume VII (1834)
The Honey-Heart Cherry-Tree. The Honey Heart it one of the very best of all cherries, particularly for the private garden. Some larger kinds, of inferior quality, may be more profitable for the market. But many intelligent horticulturists say that if they had but one cherry-tree for their own use, they would choose the Honey Heart; and we consider this opinion correct. ─ The New England Farmer, Volume I (1849)
