It's possible that Nimloth was a cherry tree, but one that gave fruit very rarely. I don't think anyone would have the nerve to eat the fruit. They were too sacred.
Even when the tree gave fruit, it still probaby had very few cherries on it (well, like abot 1-5, in my opinion). Any fruit that were not planted were preserved, in order to keep the tree-line alive.
