Let the numbers of apple, peach, and cherry trees be $A, P, C$.
From the ratios:
- $\(A: P=2: 3 \Rightarrow A=\frac{2}{3} P\)$.
- $\(C: P=2: 1 \Rightarrow C=2 P\)$.
Total trees:
$$
\(A+P+C=\frac{2}{3} P+P+2 P=\frac{11}{3} P=33 \Rightarrow P=9\) .
$$
Quantity $A=9$, Quantity $B=8$, so Quantity $A$ is greater.
