Cherry trees are deciduous trees that belong to the genus Prunus. They are known for their beautiful blossoms, which typically bloom in spring and can be white or pink. These trees can grow to be quite tall, reaching heights of 20 to 30 feet, and they thrive in well-drained soil and full sunlight. The fruit of cherry trees, known as cherries, are small, round, and can be sweet or sour. They are often used in cooking, baking, and making jams. Cherry trees are also popular in parks and gardens for their ornamental value, especially during the blooming season.
