- Planting & Care
- A familiar favourite, producing delicious, aromatic, deep red cherries perfect for eating straight from the tree.
- Enjoy an abundant harvest over a long period of several weeks.
- This self-pollinating tree yields well without needing a partner, though a nearby cherry can improve the crop.
- An adaptable tree that is easy to grow and responds well to pruning, making it suitable for training into fan or espalier shapes.
- Supplied expertly pruned to encourage a strong, bushy shape and robust growth.
- Delivered in EcoPots™, which use 70% less plastic, are fully recyclable, and reduce root spiralling.
