No cherry trees in AZ that I know of.

I did some surfing and found that cherry wood in the size I have, 8'
plus, are grown in the "tropics". Up to 30' tall.
Several different species etc. Trying to find more information.

If it was "grown in the tropics" then odds are that it's Jatoba, aka
"Brazilian Cherry". It looks somewhat like cherry and darkens with age,
but it's more than twice as hard as hard maple.
