Introducing the exquisite Prunus avium, commonly known as Sweet Cherry, Wild Cherry, or Gean. This remarkable deciduous tree from the Rosaceae family originates from Europe, Asia, and northern Africa, making it a cherished addition to landscapes around the globe. True to its Latin roots, the name reflects its sweet allure and delectable fruit.
Reaching heights of 15 to 30 feet, Sweet Cherry tree thrives in full sun and prefers moisture-retentive, well-drained soils, exhibiting no tolerance for wet conditions. Gardeners celebrate this tree for its stunning seasonal transformations: fragrant white blossoms in spring, luscious red or yellow fruits in summer, and striking yellow foliage in fall. Its fleshy drupes, though smaller than commercial varieties, attract birds and squirrels, helping it naturalize beyond garden confines.
Perfect for edible gardens and pollinator-friendly landscapes, Prunus avium serves as an ornamental centerpiece. While it graces gardens as a parent to popular cultivars like the bing cherry, it stands proudly on its own, offering beauty and a touch of wild charm. Let Sweet Cherry tree elevate your outdoor space with its graceful presence and seasonal splendor.
