Because here in Australia we usually get cherry's around christmas time which is the middle of our summer. I noticed that most of the cherrys we get have been imported from the states, but you guys are in winter at that time. It just seems weird to me because I always thought of cherrys as being a summer fruit but if i lived in the US it would be a winter fruit. lol this just occured to me for some unknown reason.

I've lived in Washington state, and Colorado; in both of those areas, cherry trees bloom in our springtime, and the fruit usually becomes available at local markets around May or June - early summer, for us. I grew up in Texas, and lived there for 43 years; I don't recall ever seeing cherry trees there at all, so I don't think they're coming from Texas (which supplies the U.S. with lots of produce from its far southern tip, known as the Rio Grande Valley). I'm not in agriculture, so I suppose it's quite possible that there are areas of cherry-growing that I know nothing about; maybe someone else can give you a better answer.

The reason you get them mid-American winter is because not all areas of America are cold. For the most part, places like California and Florida are hot year round, with the exception of freak storms that happen from time to time.
