What is a cherry?

The cherry is a beautiful tree known for its juicy and sweet fruits, holding an important place in horticulture and cuisine around the world. This small yet elegant tree can reach heights of 3 to 10 meters, depending on the variety and growing conditions. The cherry has a characteristic round or oval crown shape and features thin, graceful branches that bloom with white or pink flowers in spring. These flowers appear in late April to early May and create picturesque clouds that attract attention with their beauty.

The fruits of the cherry, usually round and small, are covered by a thin skin, under which lies the juicy flesh. Depending on the variety, they can range in color from bright red to dark burgundy or even black. Cherries can be sweet or sour, and each has a unique taste and aroma, making them an ideal ingredient for numerous dishes.

These trees thrive in various climatic conditions, preferring sunny and wind-protected areas. Cherries favor light, well-drained soils and can be found both in gardens and in wild forests. During the fruiting season, from June to August, cherry trees are filled with ripe berries that attract not only people but also birds, insects, and other wildlife.

The cherry is also known for its seasonal changes. In spring, it delights us with its blooming, in summer with fragrant berries, and in autumn and winter with its picturesque skeleton. The leaves of the cherry tree have a unique ability to change color in response to climatic conditions and seasonal changes, adding extra interest to its appearance.

This remarkable culture is not only valued for its fruits, but also used as an ornamental plant in landscape design, creating beautiful gardens, parks, and avenues. Additionally, the cherry has a significant cultural mark, deeply rooted in the traditions and holidays of many nations, making it not only an exotic but also a universal tree for every garden.
