Cerises is feminine because it derives from Latin "cerasa," the plural form of "cerasum" (cherry), which was treated as a feminine singular noun in Old French and retained that gender through its evolution into Modern French. The shift from Latin neuter/masculine forms to a feminine noun is typical of how many French fruit names evolved from Latin plurals that were reanalyzed as feminine singulars.
