Cherry (Sakurabo) - Cherry (English spelling)

Japanese: サクランボ(桜坊) - サクランボ(英語表記)cherry
Cherry (Sakurabo) - Cherry (English spelling)
A deciduous fruit tree of the Rosaceae family. In horticulture, it is a stone fruit and is called otou (cherry). Cherries have a single seed surrounded by soft, juicy flesh, so many can be eaten, and although the fruits of Somei-Yoshino and Yamazakura are bitter and not tasty, children sometimes eat them as a game. There are also several types of cherry cultivated for eating. In a broad sense, cherries are a general term for the fruits of cherries, but in horticulture, the fruits of cultivated species are called cherries. The most important of these in Japan is the sweet cherry ( Prunus avium L.), and most of the fruits sold commercially under the name cherries are of this species.

Japanese:
バラ科の落葉果樹。園芸上は核果類に属し,オウトウ(桜桃)という。サクラ類の果実は1個の核をやわらかく多汁な果肉が包みこんでいるので,多くのものが食べられ,ソメイヨシノやヤマザクラの果実も苦くて美味ではないが,子どもが遊びに食べることがある。また食用にするために栽培されるサクラの種類もいくつかある。広い意味でのサクランボはサクラ類の果実を総称するが,園芸上では栽培種の果実をサクランボと称している。そのなかで日本の果樹として重要なものはセイヨウミザクラ(甘果オウトウ)P.avium L.(英名sweet cherry)で,サクランボの名称で市販されている果物は大部分が本種である。
