Over the last 3-5 years, the price for cherry (everywhere) has increased
dramatically. There are at least two major reasons for the increase.

First, there was severe, if not complete, reduction of logging of cherry
from the Allegheny National Forest in PA due to the work of
conservationalists. Not sure if there was a specific endangered species,
or just an across-the-board environmental concern. Reference:

No joy the link, but hereabout, cherry is a fire tree - first to colonize.
Don't have to stop harvesting cherry, just the stuff that shades its
seedlings, and the supply will drop.
