Cherry Trees

Germany

Dessert recipes dating back at least as far as the 1800s confirm the importance that cherries, and by extension cherry trees, have long had in German cuisine.¹ Historically, cherry trees were found mainly in rural areas of Germany, but thanks in part to a gift from Japan following German reunification, the trees can now be seen lining the streets of cities like Berlin and Bonn.^{2 3 4}
