I have deleted four useless and xenophobic adjectives.Cybertwerp 17:59, 21 September 2007 (UTC) --Cybertwerp 17:59, 21 September 2007 (UTC) I think the reason that Cherry Blossom redirects to here, is due to the fact that the whole basis of the Cherry Blossom comes from the flowering cherry tree. I do however agree, Cherry Blossom should have its own individual page with its own specific information. - Tytyga 19:02, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Cherry blossom shouldn't redirect here -- it has important cultural significance, outside the meaning of "cherry" itself, in japan.

Removed this, as the references show it to apply to fruit generally, not specifically limited to cherries - MPF 21:40, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Legal issues

The FDA has threatened the U.S. cherry industry with legal measures unless it stops mentioning health benefits of cherries [1] [2]. The FDA has sent letters to cherry distributors saying that when health benefits are mentioned, the cherries then become "drugs" that are subject to seizure [3] (FDA Threatens to Raid Cherry Orchards, William Faloon, Life Extension Magazine, March 2006).

One of the links was wrong, that's all. RJII 21:49, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but I'm still very far from convinced that it should be included here; firstly the unchanged link states that it is "cherry and other Fruit-Based Products" (my italics), which shows that the principle of the ban is a general one and thus if to be included, should be on the 'fruit' page; secondly, it is a relatively insignificant parochial decision limited to just one country, and as such is not really encyclopaedic information. - MPF 23:36, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] annual production

the figures are impossible. it equates to about 20Kg per day of cherries per person globally. nice but i don't think so! crazy!86.1.38.164 (talk) 16:05, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] cherry as wood

Why is there no mention made of the cherry tree's wood? Cherry tree lumber is certainly one of the most important hardwoods, especially in fine cabinetry--and so is veneer made of cherry wood. I wish I knew more about it, but without that information, the article is not sufficiently informative. NaySay 21:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Prunus arthurella

Hello, I'm one of the administrators of Polish Wikipedia. An unregistered user has created an article about a species of cherry (w:pl:Wiśnia arthura - prunus arthurella). He said that it is a new species, which is additionally very rare and has been developed and grown in Wales. Google does not return any hits when a query is sent to the search engine. Is the information true, or can it be classified as a hoax? Please, give me answer here. Regards, Wiktoryn 21:25, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] how tall do they grow?

I think the article could use a mention of this. Btyner (talk) 18:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You will die of poisining two species?

"There is a slight chance there will be to much mercury in the cherry you eat and you will die of poisioning two species..." That doesn't make sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ginbot86 (talk • contribs) 04:40, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 45698 million tonnes?

did i read that right? 45.7 BILLION tonnes of cherries per year? wouldn't that be about 6 tonnes of cherries per person? is this correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.164.13.30 (talk) 03:50, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
