Cherries
Scientific classification
Kingdom : Plantae
Division : Angiosperms
Subdivision: Eudicots
Class : Rosids
Order: Rosales
Family : Rosaceae
Subfamily : Prunoideae
Genus: Prunus
Species: cerasus
Sweet cherry : P.avium
The majority of eating cherries are derived from either Prunus avium, the sweet cherry (sometimes called the wild cherry), or from Prunus cerasus, the sour cherry.
ORIGIN
Sweet Cherry
    P. avium originated in the area between the Black and Caspian seas of Asia Minor. Birds may have carried it to Europe prior to human civilization.
Sour Cherry
    There is good evidence suggesting that P. cerasus, a tetraploid, arose from a natural cross between P. avium and P. fruticosa (Ground cherry). The geographic ranges of the two species overlap in northern Iran and Turkmenistan, which is the center of origin of sour cherry.
