What are the Different Types of Cherry Trees?
Cherry trees come in quite an array of colors and sizes. Many gardeners divide cherries into flowering or ornamental varieties, and varieties which produce edible fruit. Both have been cultivated for thousands of years, resulting in a number of very refined cherry cultivars, some of which are highly treasured. Regions like Japan are especially famous for their flowering cherries, while the fruiting cherries of regions like Washington State are also well known in some culinary circles.
