CherryTree Inc. is an American technology and gaming software company that was founded in Chatsworth, California in 2016.

Aside from producing a number of unrelated computer software and hardware lines, the company has acquired licensing to manufacture and market computer products that utilize designs and intellectual property from the Star Trek and Star Wars entertainment franchises.

The company began to retail three officially licensed computers (PCs) on 26 September 2017, based on Borg cube designs. To commemorate the Battle of Wolf 359, only 359 copies of each model was produced.

The Borg CubeVR and Borg Cube PC share the same chassis and can be customized, and the option of purchasing cases with motherboards independently is also available. The Borg Micro Cube is available in Black, Translucent, and Gold-Pressed Latinum (gold-painted) Editions.

CherryTree provided a Borg Cube PC that was auctioned for the Education Through Music-Los Angeles charity at the Official Star Trek Convention in August 2018. It was autographed by Star Trek celebrities J.J. Abrams, LeVar Burton, John Cho, James Cromwell, John de Lancie, Michael Giacchino, Michael Horton, Jeri Ryan, and Brent Spiner.

The company previewed a prototype of its Star Trek: Picard Borg Cube ATX Limited Collector's Edition computer in July 2019, [1] and the final model became available to retail in January 2020. [2] Additionally, a smaller 7.5 inch ITX versions of this cube debuted in 2020.

New ATX and ITX (slightly larger than the Micro Cube to accommodate graphics cards) builds of the standard cube were also retailed in 2020.

In 2021, the company displayed a prototype for a forthcoming computerized Star Trek: Picard Borg Cube Record Player. [3] Cherrytree also retailed a Bernardus of Borg figurine in 2021, inspired by the Bernie Sanders "mittens meme".
