Planting & Care

A versatile cherry, delicious eaten fresh from the tree and superb for cooking in jams, pies, and even making liqueurs.
The sweet yet tangy flavour is at its best when the fruit is fully ripe.
Harvest your crop of rich, dark red cherries from early July.
Grown on a Colt rootstock, this tree will reach a maximum of 4m x 4m, making it ideal for smaller gardens and pots.
Partially self-fertile, it will produce fruit on its own but cropping is improved with a nearby pollination partner.
Arrives professionally pruned to encourage a strong, healthy shape and bushy growth.
Supplied in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic and is fully recyclable.

Species: Cherry (Prunus avium)
Features: Heritage, Partially Self-fertile
Uses: Eating and cooking
Flavour: Sweet with a good tanginess when fully ripe
Flowering Time: April, May
Harvest Time: July
Pollination Group: 3 (Partially self-fertile, but yields improve with a partner from groups 1, 2, or 3)
Position: Full sun
Hardiness: Hardy, but protect flowers from very late frosts to ensure a good crop.
Soil: Prefers fertile, well-draining soil. Tolerates clay but not sandy or waterlogged soils.

Planting: Can be planted year-round. Water in thoroughly after planting.
Watering: For the first few months, water every other day, reducing to twice a week until autumn. From the second year, water only during dry spells. It's better to give a good soaking less frequently than a little and often.
Feeding: This tree does not require feeding.
Pruning: Prune in winter to maintain a productive shape, improve yield and prevent disease.
Pest & Disease: Good resistance. Protect ripening fruit from birds with netting. Aphids and caterpillars can be washed off with soapy water. Reduce canker risk by pruning for good airflow.
