If you are curious about stuff like this, there is a book you might interested in: The Origins of Fruits and Vegetables by Johnathon Roberts. The following info is derived from that book. Cherries are native to China. They were first grown as a domestic crop in Greece around the time of Christ. Hope that helps.

Actually they sweet cherry is native to the black sea. It was cultivates in a town called Cerasus (hence the name kerasi in greek or cereza in spanish or cherry in english). It name back then was literally the "fruit of Cerasus". It was indeed cultivated by Greeks in Asa, although this fruit was spread across Europe by the Romans, as it was considered a staple to the Legionaries' diet.
