Sour cherry tree is the common name for Prunus cerasus.

The sour cherry's mature height tends not to exceed 15-20 feet (5-6 meters). Those woody plants that mature to 30 feet (9.144 meters) or more are considered trees. Those woody plants that mature to lesser heights are called shrubs or small trees.

Wild cherry tree is a common name for Prunus avium. Other common names that may be encountered are Sweet cherry tree or Gean.

The scientific, Latin or binomial name of "Prunus avium" literally translates as "cherry tree of the birds." The name honors the love of wildlife, and particularly birds, for the tree's wild fruit. Whether or not humans like the fruit tends to be unpredictable. Specifically, the fruit sometimes seems sweet enough and other times too bitter and astringent for the human palate.
