Talk:Prunus cerasus

"The Morello Cherry (in Europe), called Sour Cherry in North America" - removed this distinction; it is also very commonly called Sour Cherry in Britain (probably more often than it is called Morello Cherry) - MPF 22:27, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Seems like it ought to be moved to "Sour cherry" then. I worked with them for years and never heard the term "Morello." "Montmorency" was the cultivar usually planted. Pollinator 03:42, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

I very nearly did so the first time I found the page months ago! Checked some references, it seems Morello Cherry is (mainly) used for a particular cultivar group of Sour Cherry; as this page is about the species as a whole, I'll move it now - MPF 15:10, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Why is the second word capitalised? I thought one does not capitalise all words in the name of a plant... --Missmarple 17:36, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Picture

We can be quite sure that this picture is of a sour cherry—it hails from the photographer’s garden. But it really doesn’t look like what, in England, we call a Morello cherry. The Morello is much darker. (Even at the stage when the birds more or less strip the tree of its not-quite-ripe fruit.) —Ian Spackman 12:22, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I also was surprised by the light bright fruit colour Tabby 14:22, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

The plant in the picture seems to have a disease, and because of that or the climate will probably never ripen. The fruits are very unripe hence the color. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rklz2 (talk • contribs) 07:54, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I changed the picture to one showing a more ripe cherry: —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rklz2 (talk • contribs) 08:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

SourcherryYield.png

File:SourcherryYield.png, currently on this page, proclaims by its file name that it is about cherries. The caption given beneath it reads "Worldwide sour cherry production". So why does the caption on the file itself say "Average regional vetch output"?? Is there some kind of mistake? Was the file meant to be about cherries or was it meant to be about vetches? --Iustinus (talk) 03:41, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

I agree that something is wrong with that map. The US, a major producer according to the table, is not coloured at all. -- Gorog (talk) 15:41, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Correct name

According to The Plant List, the correct name for this species should be Cerasus vulgaris. MKwek (talk) 09:52, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Medical?

There is some old, weak research on osteoarthritis that led to many supplement companies making treatment claims for extracts. This led to the Food and Drug Administration sending out Warning Letters in 2005. There is melatonin content, but no good research summary that the amounts are enough to improve sleep. There is also research on recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). There are published reviews on this aspect, so properly worded content could be added with citation of the reviews (not of the individual clinical trials, and definitely not of any in vitro or animal work). Refs in question are Coelho 2015, Bell PG 2014 and Kuelh 2012. David notMD (talk) 16:06, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
