As you must know, this cherry tree story is fictitious.
According to the story, George was given a new hatchet, so he looked around
for a place to try it out. He saw a little cherry tree that looked to be just the sort of tree that a boy his age could chop down with a hatchet, so that is what he did.

This apocryphal story was created by Mason Locke Weems better known as Parson Weems in A History of the Life and Death, Virtues and Exploits of General George Washington. Weems either made up the story entirely or based it on undocumented tales that were floating around at the time. It is a good story.
