Planting & Care

Enjoy delicious, sweet black cherries perfect for both fresh eating and cooking.
Self-fertile, so you only need one tree to get a bountiful crop.
Harvest mid-season, with fruit ready to pick in mid-July.
A dependable and consistent producer, delivering a heavy harvest every year.
Shows excellent resistance to common pests and diseases, including fruit cracking.
Compact enough for pot cultivation, making it ideal for patios and small spaces.
Available on Colt rootstock for a manageable tree (4x4m) or as a space-saving Cordon (2x1m).
Arrives professionally pruned to encourage strong, bushy growth.

Species: Cherry
Latin Name: Prunus avium
Tasting Notes: Very sweet with a rich flavour
Uses: Eating
Flowering Time: April
Harvest Time: July
Pollination: Self-fertile (Pollination Group 4)
Position: Full sun
Soil: Happy in most soils except sandy or poorly drained
Hardiness: Hardy
Pest & Disease Resistance: Excellent
Pruning: Some structural pruning required in winter
Eventual Spread: 4m

Planting Time: Can be planted year-round.
Bare Root Care: Our bare root trees are lifted fresh. In winter, they can be stored for several weeks in a cool, dark spot. In spring, plant within a few days of arrival.
Pollination: Sunburst is self-fertile and doesn't require a partner tree. However, crops may be improved if another cherry from pollination group 3, 4, or 5 is nearby. In most urban areas, this is likely.
Position: Plant in a full sun position for the best fruit development.
Soil: Prefers deep, fertile, well-draining soil. It can tolerate clay, but you may need to improve drainage. Avoid sandy or waterlogged soils.
Hardiness: Fully hardy, but late frosts can damage flowers, potentially reducing the fruit yield for that year. Protect with fleece if a late, hard frost is forecast.
Pruning: Prune each winter to maintain a productive shape, improve yields, and prevent disease.
Pest & Disease: Shows excellent resistance to major cherry diseases. Watch for aphids and caterpillars, which can be washed off with soapy water. Protect ripening fruit from birds using netting or scarers.
