What is a "wild cherry"?
The wild cherry, scientifically known as Prunus avium, is a species native to Europe, Western Asia, and parts of North Africa. It is also commonly referred to as the sweet cherry. Wild cherries are small, round fruits with smooth, shiny skin that ranges in color from bright red to deep purple-black when ripe. They have a sweet and juicy flesh surrounding a single hard pit or stone in the center. Prized for their delicious flavor, they are enjoyed fresh as a snack or used in various culinary applications, including pies, jams, and preserves. Additionally, they are a favorite food source for birds and other animals in their natural habitats.
