Can cherry grow in the Philippines?

Yes, cherry trees can grow in the Philippines, but they require specific conditions to thrive. The climate must be cool enough, particularly in higher elevation areas such as the Cordillera region and parts of Mindanao. Additionally, the trees need well-drained soil and sufficient sunlight. Certain varieties, like the Philippine cherry (also known as the "Sakura" or "Jerusalem cherry"), are better adapted to the local environment.
