I think the reason that Cherry Blossom redirects to here, is due to the fact that the whole basis of the Cherry Blossom comes from the flowering cherry tree. I do however agree, Cherry Blossom should have its own individual page with its own specific information. - Tytyga 19:02, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Cherry blossom shouldn't redirect here -- it has important cultural significance, outside the meaning of "cherry" itself, in japan.

Removed this, as the references show it to apply to fruit generally, not specifically limited to cherries - MPF 21:40, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Legal issues

The FDA has threatened the U.S. cherry industry with legal measures unless it stops mentioning health benefits of cherries [1] [2]. The FDA has sent letters to cherry distributors saying that when health benefits are mentioned, the cherries then become "drugs" that are subject to seizure [3] (FDA Threatens to Raid Cherry Orchards, William Faloon, Life Extension Magazine, March 2006).

One of the links was wrong, that's all. RJII 21:49, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but I'm still very far from convinced that it should be included here; firstly the unchanged link states that it is "cherry and other Fruit-Based Products" (my italics), which shows that the principle of the ban is a general one and thus if to be included, should be on the 'fruit' page; secondly, it is a relatively insignificant parochial decision limited to just one country, and as such is not really encyclopaedic information. - MPF 23:36, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] cherry as wood

Why is there no mention made of the cherry tree's wood? Cherry tree lumber is certainly one of the most important hardwoods, especially in fine cabinetry--and so is veneer made of cherry wood. I wish I knew more about it, but without that information, the article is not sufficiently informative. NaySay 21:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
