Cherries are grown in many parts of the United States. Sweet cherries, more difficult to grow, are cultivated mainly in California, and sour cherries are common in the East. Some species with inferior fruit are cultivated especially for their flowers. Most notable of these are the Oriental cherry and the Nanking cherry. Thousands of trees of these species, presented by Japan to the United States in 1912, have been planted in Washington, D.C., around the Potomac Basin, where the cherry blossoms attract considerable attention each year in April.

CHERRIES
Cherries are drupes, or stone fruits, related to plums and more distantly to peaches and nectarines. They have been enjoyed since the Stone Age-pits were found in several Stone Age caves in Europe. The Romans carried cherries throughout Europe and England along the routes of conquest.
Cherries are grown in several regions of this country, but seventy percent of the cherries produced in the United States come from four states (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Utah).

Just to add a European angle - cherries grow in most countries in southern Europe, but they grow pretty well in the south of England. Glace cherries originally come from the south of France, near Marseille, where the cherries grow in orchards, and then are cooked repeatedly in a strong sugar solution to preserve them.
Yum. ps. does anyone else get a really bad stomach ache from eating a (large) bowl of cherries???

I grew up in IA, and we had a tall cherry tree in our yard that I used to climb and fall out of on a pretty regular basis. The reason I kept climbing it was because they were so delicious--a little snack. It was also one of my favorite hiding places when we would play Hide-N-Seek.
