Cherries are considered to be one of the tastiest summer fruit. These small drupes of spherical or cordiform shape come in different varieties, which are most easily identified by their color: ranging from yellow-pink, through the blood-red, to nearly black. Cherries can be used to prepare delicious compotes and jams, however, fresh fruits are the tastiest. The trees are grown in many orchards and gardens, but there are also wild cherry trees. The trees blossom with beautiful white flowers in April and May.
