According to textual research, in the Yellow River valley of China, the commonly cultivated cherries should be wild species native to China. In Flora of China, the Chinese name of this species is Cherry. In ancient books, this fruit is often called Ying Tao, Yutao, Mei Tao or Zhu Ying, and there is a better name called Han Tao. Perhaps this is why the word "cherry mouth" is used to describe a woman's mouth.
In addition, there is also a kind of hairy cherry in Beijing and parts of North China, with red, yellow and white fruits, which are sweet, sour and juicy.
Today, most of the larger cherries we see in the market come from another species, which is a sweet cherry native to the Black Sea coast of Europe and West Asia. The fruit cultivated by gardeners with this variety is much bigger and sweeter, and more importantly, it has much higher yield, storage resistance and convenient transportation. Therefore, the planting area of sweet cherry is getting bigger and bigger, and the market share is getting higher and higher.
