A cherry is a small, round, red fruit that grows on a certain type of tree. A cherry has a hard "pit" in the center. Inside the pit is a seed. Some kinds of cherries are sweet, but some are not. People often eat sweet cherries just as they are or baked in pies.

A cherry is a type of tree. It has beautiful white and pink flowers in the spring, and it gives us the fruit that we call "cherries." It also gives a beautiful wood that is sometimes used for furniture. We often call these trees "cherry trees" instead of "cherries."
When I saw the cherry trees in the park, I thought the little flowers looked like popcorn all over the branches of the trees.
