A wild sweet cherry tree or its fruit; a cherry that grows naturally without human cultivation.
From Old French 'guine,' possibly from Latin 'gignere' (to produce), referring to a naturally occurring cherry; the word describes wild cherries found across Europe.
Gean cherries are literally wild ancestors of the cherries we eat today—they're living time capsules showing what fruit tasted like before humans spent 2,000 years selectively breeding them to be sweeter, and they still grow wild in European forests!
