The term 'Cherry Alternative' refers to two types of trees that can be used as an alternative to cherry trees. The first is BEECH, which is a deciduous tree that is native to temperate Europe, Asia, and North America. It has a smooth grey bark and its leaves are oval-shaped and have a serrated edge. The second is OAK, which is a type of tree that is native to the Northern Hemisphere and is known for its strong wood and acorns. OAK trees have a rough bark and their leaves are lobed and have a pointed tip. Both BEECH and OAK trees can be used as an alternative to Cherry trees in landscaping and other applications.
