red cherry

Crimson stone fruit

Red cherry typically refers to cherry varieties with red skin and flesh, as opposed to yellow or black cherries.

The phrase often appears in compound terms: red cherry tomatoes, red cherry shrimp.

In casual use, it's somewhat redundant since most people picture red when they hear cherry—but it specifies when distinction matters.
