Planting & Care

Enjoy classic, candy-red dessert cherries with a richly sweet flavour and a slight tang.
A very late-ripening variety, ready for picking from early August with an extended harvesting period.
Awarded the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit and recognised as a Plant for Pollinators.
A self-fertile variety, meaning it does not require a pollination partner to produce fruit.
Trees are expertly pruned before shipping to encourage robust, bushy growth and a better shape.
