wild cherries
Uncultivated red fruits
Wild cherries are cherry trees or their fruit found growing naturally rather than cultivated in orchards.
Several species qualify, including the black cherry native to North America and the European wild cherry.
The fruit is typically smaller and more tart than cultivated varieties: The birds stripped the wild cherries before we could pick any.
Wild cherry wood is prized in furniture making.
