Cherries are small, round fruits that can be sweet or sour. They grow on trees that are also known for their flowers. Cherry trees grow throughout the world, in areas that do not get extreme heat or cold. Different types of cherry tree produce sweet cherries and sour cherries.
The fruit is generally dark to bright red in color and has so much acid that it is not appealing for eating fresh. The duke cherries are intermediate in both tree and fruit characteristics. The fruits of all varieties provide vitamin A and small amounts of such minerals as calcium and phosphorus.
Borne in small rounded clusters, the showy white flowers have five petals and numerous stamens. The sweet cherry fruit is a fleshy drupe (stone fruit) borne on a long stem. It is generally heart-shaped to nearly globular and measures about 2 cm (1 inch) in diameter.
