Cherry

Fruit & Nut Trees

Cherries are a beloved fruit enjoyed worldwide, belonging to the genus *Prunus* and the subgenus *Cerasus*. These fruits are drupes, or stone fruits, characterized by their fleshy exterior and a single hard seed in the center. While there are many species of cherry trees, the most common are the sweet cherry (*Prunus avium*) and the sour cherry (*Prunus cerasus*). Sweet cherries, as their name suggests, are typically eaten fresh, while sour cherries have a higher acid content and are often used in cooking and baking, particularly for pies and preserves. ## Sources - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerasus - https://www.britannica.com/plant/cherry - https://ecotree.green/en/offers/species/wild-cherry
