Cherries are a fleshy stone fruit from plants of the genus Prunus. The main species cultivated for edible frout are sweet or “wild” cherries (Prunus avium), which the Australian industry is largely based on, and sour cherries (Prunus cerasus). Sweet cherries are a naturally vigorous deciduous tree that becomes large and upright if unprune, reaching heights up to 11 metres. The bark is a decorative silver-grey, and the leaves are a large slender oval shape with a serrated edge. The tree has white blossoms in spring, with buds containing one to five flowers. The fruit is usually heart-shaped to round, about two centimetres in diameter, and ranges in colour from yellow to red and nearly black (depending on the variety).
Cherry trees are largely grown for their fruit, which in Australia is produced over the period from late October to mid-February. The fruit is eaten fresh
