Description
The European cherry is native to Europe and the British Isles, and is also found in Scandinavia, southwestern Russia, western Asia, and the mountains of North Africa. The heartwood is orange-red with greenish stripes, the sapwood is white to yellowish. The fibers are straight or slightly wavy, with a fine to medium texture, with a silky sheen. The pores are small, without a specific arrangement. The cherry wood used in the woodworking industry is not from trees grown in the garden, but from wild trees found in forest stands, therefore the supply of wood is somewhat limited.
