Our Cherry is Prunus avium, or Sweet Cherry. Sweet cherries are native to parts of Europe and western Asia. They have been cultivated for thousands of years and were spread to other regions through trade and human migration. Today, sweet cherry trees are grown in many countries with temperate climates worldwide. We source ours from various countries around the world.
