Cherry is the fruit of plants in the Prunus genus, usually from species like sweet cherry (Prunus avium). The cherry tree is sometimes also called cherry, and other Prunus plants with similar flowers may be called ornamental cherry or cherry blossom. Wild cherry generally refers to uncultivated cherry species but often specifically means Prunus avium in the British Isles.

Prunus avium, sweet cherry, also called wild cherry
The cherry is the juicy fruit of many plants of the genus Prunus, and is a fleshy drupe (stone fruit).
The cherry fruits of commerce are usually obtained from a limited number of species such
as cultivars of the sweet cherry, Prunus avium. The name 'cherry' also refers to the cherry tree, and
is sometimes applied to almonds and visually similar flowering trees in the genus Prunus, as in
"ornamental cherry", "cherry blossom", etc. Wild Cherry may refer to any of the cherry species
growing outside of cultivation, although Prunus avium is often referred to specifically by the name
"wild cherry" in the British Isles.
