Planting & Care

A versatile cherry, delicious eaten fresh and perfect for cooking into jams, pies, and liqueurs.
Features a sweet and tangy flavour; for the best taste, wait until the cherries are fully ripe.
Harvest your own crop of delicious cherries from early July.
Grown on a Colt rootstock, this tree reaches a manageable size of 4m x 4m, ideal for smaller gardens and pots.
Partially self-fertile, but yields will improve with a nearby pollination partner.
Professionally pruned before dispatch to encourage strong, bushy growth.
