Cherry tree

A cherry tree is a deciduous tree known for its beautiful, delicate flowers that bloom in spring and its sweet or tart cherries, which are edible fruit. Scientifically classified under the genus Prunus, cherry trees can vary in size and type, including ornamental varieties for landscaping and fruit-bearing types for harvesting. They thrive in temperate climates and often have distinctive, smooth bark and multi-branched structure. Cherry trees are valued not only for their aesthetic appeal during flowering but also for their fruit, which is used in culinary applications like desserts, jams, and beverages.
