Cherry trees, with their stunning blossoms, evoke a range of literal, metaphorical, and visceral sensations. From cherry picking to losing one's cherry, these fruits have been enjoyed since prehistoric times and have gained immense popularity among the ancient Romans. They symbolize fertility, innocence, and seductiveness, inspiring Dutch still-life paintings, Freudian theory, contemporary pop artists, and one of the first food emojis. In Japan and other Asian cultures, cherry blossoms are essential elements in art and literature, with their short-lived but beautiful blooms capturing the essence of the season. In this captivating natural and cultural history, Constance L. Kirker and Mary Newman delve into the origins, legends, celebrations, production, and health benefits of this beloved tree.
