The cherry is the fruit of many plants of the
genus Prunus, and is a fleshy stone fruit. The
cherry fruits of commerce are usually obtained from a
limited number of species, including especially
cultivars of the wild cherry, Prunus avium.
The name 'cherry', often as the compound term 'cherry
tree', may also be applied to many other members of
the genus Prunus, or to all members of the genus as a
collective term. The fruits of many of these are not
cherries, and have other common names, including plum,
apricot, peach, and others. The name 'cherry' is also
frequently used in reference to cherry blossom.
