Brief description

Cherry belongs to the deciduous tree fruit tree of Rosaceae. Friends should not confuse cherry with cherry blossom. Cherry is bright red when it is ripe, beautifully carved, delicious and nutritious, and has high medical and health care value, also known as "Han Tao". The cherries cultivated as fruit trees in China include China cherry, sweet cherry, sour cherry and hairy cherry. Cherry ripens early and has the reputation of the first fruit in early spring, which is called "the first branch of 100 fruits". It is said that orioles especially love pecking this kind of fruit, hence the name "cherry".

The output of cherries in China is 35 million Jin, only 29g per capita, which is equivalent to three big cherries or 15- 17 cherries in China. It can be seen that cherry has a broad market prospect. The sweet cherry varieties cultivated in China are mainly European and American varieties, which perform well in northern China. Because European sweet cherry generally needs 900~ 1400 hours at a low temperature below 7.2℃ to complete hibernation, it is limited to its large-scale cultivation in southern China. Therefore, China cherry is still the main cultivated variety in southern provinces of China. At the same time, there are few excellent cherry varieties in China, and the cultivated varieties generally show many shortcomings, such as small fruit, sour taste, fruit cracking before harvest, fruit dropping and so on. The successful breeding of black pearl, an excellent cherry variety in China, has made up for these shortcomings.

There are two kinds of wild cherries, Asia and Europe, which are unrelated to each other. Later, other cherries were cultivated. Mainly distributed in the northern hemisphere in the world, China is mainly produced in Anhui, Liaoning, Hebei, Shaanxi, Gansu, Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Sichuan and other places. Born on sunny slopes or beside ditches, it is often cultivated, with an altitude of 300~600 meters. Xixiang County, Shaanxi Province has the largest cherry base in the northwest-Cherry Valley, and the Cherry Festival is held in late April every year. This fruit is produced in Zhenning Buyi and Miao Autonomous County, Anshun City, Guizhou Province, China.

Archaeologists unearthed cherry seeds in ancient tombs of Shang Dynasty and Warring States Period. Three thousand years ago, in the Book of Rites, it was recorded that "in midsummer festival, peaches are recommended to sleep in the temple first". The "peach" here is both cherry. Cherry has been listed as a tribute of the imperial court in history. The famous cherry varieties in China are drooping cherry in Nanjing, Jiangsu, dwarf cherry in Zhuji, Zhejiang, Taishan cherry in Tai 'an, Shandong, and Taihe cherry in Taihe, Anhui. Among them, Taihe cherry in Anhui is the most famous.
