I am CONFUSED. Well, I don't think that cherries grow on trees. Right? Well, a lot of people say that George Washington cut down a cherry tree, wasn't it an apple tree? That's always on my mind. :D

I had a wild cherry tree in my yard at the old house. It was a pain because every year it would drop the cherries and its not nice to walk on them.

Cherries grow on trees, two kinds of cherries, actually. Sweet and sour or pie cherries. We have wold black cherry trees all over in our woods. Tey are very tall for not being trees ;-) At least 50-70 feet. The blossoms are wonderful and when they fall in the spring, it's like snowfall. And there are the famous cheery trees that line the parks and streets in Washington DC. SOmeone was pulling your leg.

Cherries grow on trees; always have. The story of George Washington says that he cut down a cherry tree and then confessed, stating, "I cannot tell a lie." Most historians don't think the incident ever took place but was fabricated to showcase Washington's honesty.

1) The legend of George Washington and the cherry tree has no other proof than the telling of Mason Locke Weems, one of his biographs, and is most probably his own's pure invention: http://americanhistory.suite101.com/article.cfm/washingtonscherrytree http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=760247 http://xroads.virginia.edu/~cap/gw/gwmoral.html http://www.apples4theteacher.com/holidays/presidents-day/george-washington/short-stories/the-cherry-tree.html 2) there is another story about George Washington and an apple tree: "When the Carver's finest apple tree began withering, George crawled along its limbs until he found some on which colonies of codling moths had taken up residence. "Saw off those branches," he told Moses Carver, "and the tree will get well." And it did." Source: http://www.neoam.cc.ok.us/~cthale/GWC.htm 3) Cherries grow on trees (cherry trees). "The word cherry refers to both the tree and the fleshy fruit (drupe) that contains a single stony seed. The cherry belongs to the family Rosaceae, genus Prunus, along with almonds, peaches, plums, apricots and bird cherries." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry

cherries sure do grow on trees, i should know cos we grow em here on our orchard! and there are hundreds of verieties too, they all have their own taste, either sweet or sour, big or small. they all ripen different times and most of them crack open when they get rained on, this is their biggest downfall. also we grow most of our cherry trees on trellis as well so they grow strong and are easy to pick
