Origin and history
Wild cherry grows in Europe and western Asia. It needs winter chill to crop, so it belongs in the upper mid-slopes.

From Wikipedia
Prunus avium, commonly called wild cherry, sweet cherry or gean, is a species of cherry, a flowering plant in the rose family, Rosaceae. It is native to western Eurasia and naturalized elsewhere. It is an ancestor of P. cerasus (sour cherry).
All parts of the plant except for the ripe fruit are slightly toxic, containing cyanogenic glycosides. The species is often cultivated as an ornamental tree.
