Internet Colors - Set of 1035 Cherry Color 181 - #DE3163
Prunus avium
The cherry is the 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, including especially cultivars of the sweet cherry.
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.
