Cherry? Large cherry? Cherry?
Some cherries on the market are called cherries, while others are cherries. Some people say, “cherries are made in China, cherries are imported?”
smallpox What’s going on?
The most popular cherries are Chinese cherries and European sweet cherries. Chinese cherries are small and delicate, with small heads and light red color; European sweet cherries are “plump type”, generally larger in size, which is what we call big cherries, with dark red color.
We also used to call imported cherries cherries. In fact, cherries and cherries are deciduous shrub fruit trees of Rosaceae, but the varieties are different. Cherizi is a variety of sweet cherry in Europe. It is characterized by compact flesh, abundant moisture and large size.
