Different breathtaking types of Cherry tree

If you want to enjoy the most pleasant experience of growing trees, you should grow a cherry tree. The word cherry is after an ancient city of Turkey and it describes both the tree and fruit. Cherry fruit has one seed in the center which is contained in middle in single hard core while the outside of tree is very smooth and have small groove down one side. All the fruits of such structure are classified as a Drupe. Cherry fruit has hundreds of different varieties and all of them are not equally pleasant to eat.

Basic groups of cherries:

The most basic groups of cherries are just two namely wild cherry or sour cherry. Wild cherries found their origin in Europe or West Asia and are generally used for plain eating. Wild cherries are also most commonly available cherries and you can buy them easily from any fruit store. Sour cherries, as per name are not too delicious and that is why instead of plain eating they are more commonly used in cooking situations.

It not only gives you delicious fruit but it also gives wonderful flowers which enhances the beauty of your garden a lot.

Always go for black cherry variety if you are interested in growing any cherry variety. The main features of this tree are its ‘tallest size’ and the ‘beautiful clusters of white flowers’ in spring. Cherry fruit is small and black and you can harvest them in summer. The only thing about the tree which can irritate someone is that the fruit falls on the ground on their own and make the concrete dirty. Moreover it is also very susceptible to some caterpillars. So if you are planning to start a cherry tree, always plant it near grass and keep it away from any concrete surface or sidewalk.

One of its chief requirements is moist and well-drained soil. Remember, this tree can’t grow without such soil and if you are lacking such soil in your garden, you should move on to another tree.
