I've heard cherry is a good alternative to teak and was wondering about

Anyone here have experience with plastic lumber for exterior trim?

I have a dock surfaced with plastic lumber. * It looks good but is not
nearly as strong as teak. *Cherry looks good on boat interiors but
I've never heard of it being used on the exterior.

I have a feeling, like white oak, if it gets wet it is gonna' change
