cherries are grown on huge trees!! so they wont fit in a greenhouse! they are in season between july and october.

French and Spanish cherries are usually available during the latter part of May, and through June.

The season then passes to Greece and Turkey and then finishes with USA during July and August.

English cherries are usually available through June and July.

A few cherries are imported into the country during the winter from Chile and Argentine but are generally very expensive and few retailers stock them. Most are used by the catering trade.
