Cherry blossoms have fruits. The fruit of cherry blossoms is a drupe, with a nearly spherical shape and a diameter between 0.7 and 1 centimeter. It is black in color and has a ribbed skin. This fruit usually ripens from May to June every year, but it tastes sour and has no edible value, so it is rarely consumed by people. However, cherry blossom fruits can be used for sowing and propagating cherry blossoms.
There are various varieties of cherry blossoms, among which single petal cherry blossoms can bloom and bear fruit, while double petal cherry blossoms bear less fruit. Cherry blossom fruit has nothing to do with real cherries, but is mistakenly referred to as "cherry" due to its similar appearance. In fact, true cherries belong to the subgenus Liliaceae and are not the same genus as cherry blossom trees.
Cherry blossoms not only have beautiful flowers, but also fruits. Although their fruits are not suitable for consumption, they still have certain value in reproduction and viewing.
