  Cherry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cherry (originally "cherise" reinterpreted as a plural, from the Old French word, in turn from Latin cerasum and Cerasus - i.e., the Classical name of the modern city of Giresun in Turkey) is both a tree and its fleshy fruit, a type known as a drupe with a single hard stone enclosing the seed.
The cherries belong in subgenus Cerasus, distinguished from the rest of the genus by having the flowers in small corymbs of several together (not singly, nor in racemes), and in the fruit being smooth and having only a weak groove or none along one side.
Cherry flowers are sometimes eaten by the larva of the Green Pug moth and the leaves by the larva of other Lepidoptera including Coxcomb Prominent and Yellow-tail.

 Cherry
Strange though it may seem at first to the unbotanical reader, the Cherries are classed, owing to various details in their structure, as related to that great group of plants known as the Rose tribe.
With these last the Cherries are united by botanists in the genus Prunus, a group mainly characterized by the structure of its well-known fruit, which they term a "drupe." This is simply the enlarged ovary of the flower, the calyx of which has fallen with its snowy petals.
From it is distilled the Kirschwasser of Germany, and it is probably the wild original of the Morella, or Brandy Cherry of gardens.

The problem with this native cherry tree is that all parts of the tree and fruit contain the deadly toxin cyanogens, which have caused death and illness to children from cyanide poisoning in the fruit, even though birds don’t appear to be affected from eating the fruit.
