Latin Name: Prunus avium 'Merchant'
Species: Cherry
Tasting Notes: Deep rich flavour
Uses: Eating
Flowering Time: March, April
Harvest Time: August
Position: Full sun
Habit: Upright
Location: Beds & borders, Pots
Eventual Spread: 4m
Hardiness: Fully hardy. Will survive UK winters, but protect blossoms from late frosts with horticultural fleece.
Soil Type: Prefers fertile, well-draining soil. Tolerates clay but avoid sandy or badly draining soil.
Pollination: Not self-fertile. Requires a pollination partner from a compatible group. Trees can usually pollinate a group either side of their own.

Planting Time: January, February, March, September, October, November, December
Pruning: Perform some structural pruning each winter to maintain a productive shape, improve yields, and prevent disease.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For container-grown trees, water every other day for the first few months, reducing to twice a week until autumn. Once established, water only in dry spells. It is better to water heavily and less frequently.
Feeding: No feeding needed.
Pest & Disease: Shows good resistance. Wash away aphids and caterpillars with soapy water. Protect fruit from birds with netting. Reduce the risk of bacterial canker by pruning to improve airflow and removing rotting organic matter nearby.
