Planting & Care

The UK's top culinary sour cherry, perfect for pies, jams, and liqueurs.
Enjoy a rich flavour and glossy appearance from fruit harvested throughout August.
A reliable and hardy choice that performs well across the UK, even in Scotland and on north-facing walls.
Late-blooming flowers help avoid damage from spring frosts.
Self-fertile, ensuring a good crop without needing a pollination partner.
Grafted onto Colt rootstock, keeping the tree to a manageable 4m height for smaller gardens.
Awarded the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Arrives professionally pruned to encourage strong, bushy growth.

Latin Name: Prunus avium
Species: Cherry
Features: Easy to grow, Disease resistant, Heritage, Self fertile
Flowering Time: April, May
Harvest Time: July, August
Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Uses: Cooking
Tasting Notes: Sour cherry that cooks down into the richest, fullest flavour with a good level of tanginess.
Eventual Spread: 4m
Hardiness: Hardy. Generally flowers late, but may require some protection from very late frosts. This won't cause lasting damage to the tree but will reduce the yield of fruit that year.
Self-Fertile: Doesn't require a pollination partner to produce fruit but may produce better crops if one is nearby. In most built-up areas, it is unlikely there will not be a suitable tree close enough to pollinate, but in rural areas you should consider making sure there is another tree in the same pollination group within a mile.
Pollination Group: 4. Pollination groups relate to the time of the year when a tree flowers. Trees that flower at the same time can pollinate each other. Trees can usually pollinate a group either side of their own; i.e "2" can Pollinate 1, 2, and 3.

Watering: Water in well when planting. For bare root trees, you won't need to water regularly going forward, only in dry spells when the leaves start to wilt and droop. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often.
Feeding: No need to feed. This isn't a hungry plant.
Pruning: Prune Annually. Some pruning should be done each winter to ensure that your cherry tree maintains a productive shape. This can improve yields and prevent disease.

Product Specifications

Supplied As: Bare Root. Our bare root trees are lifted fresh from the field and packed straight away. In winter, you can store for several weeks if kept in a cool, dark spot. Later in spring, plant within a few days of arrival.
Height on Arrival: 120-150cm inc. roots
Eventual Height: 4m
Rootstock: Colt rootstock (grows up to 4m). This limits the tree's height, perfect for smaller spaces. It can be trained to a smaller size by pruning or by keeping it in a smaller pot.
Time to First Crop: 2 Years. You may see your first cherries 2 years after planting, but you should not expect substantial crops until the 4th or 5th year.
