- wild-plum

créquier wild plum, or wild cherry tree. I have not been able positively to identify this stylised tree, and the botanical name remains unknown to me. The créquier is usually depicted with seven branches, and often ressembles the Jewish manora, or seven branched candlestick. Some writers have suggested that this is what the charge is in fact intended to represent. It is similar in appearance to the stylised pomegranate tree, which appears in the arms of Chesterfield, Derbyshire. The charge is found almost solely in the heraldry of Picardie. [FRENCHGLOSSAR]
