🍒 Cherry Tree

The Cherry Tree is a Fruit Tree in Stardew Valley. It grows from a Cherry Sapling, which takes 28 days to mature. Once fully grown, the Cherry Tree produces one Cherry each day during the Spring season. Like all fruit trees, it can also bear fruit year-round if planted in the Greenhouse or on Ginger Island.
