Cherry and 24ct Gold Plated Twist Pen
CHERRY - Prunus Avium
A deciduous tree growing to 15-32m (49-105ft) tall with a trunck upton 1.5m (4.9ft) in diameter. The bark is smooth purplish-brown with prominent horizontal grey-brown lenticels on young trees. The leaves are alternate and 7-14 cm (2.8-5.5in) long, they are subshiney green above, variably finely downy beneath. In autumn the leaves turn orange, pink or red before falling. The flowers are produced in early spring at the same time as the new leaves. The fruit is a stone fruit 1-2cm in diameter, bright red to dark purple when mature. Each fruit contains a single hard-shelled stone 8-12mm long, 7-10mm wide and 6-8mm thick, grooved along the flattest edge. The seed inside the stone in 6-8mm long.
Cherry wood is valued as a hardwood for woodturning and is also used for making cabinets and musical instruments.
