- Can be grown in a large pot on the patio.
- Grown on a Colt rootstock to a maximum size of H4m x W4m, ideal for average gardens.

- Pruning: Some structural pruning required in winter
- Features: Self-fertile
- Planting Time: Can be planted year-round.
- Pollination: Self-fertile (Pollination Group 4). Does not require a partner but crops may be improved with another cherry tree from group 3, 4, or 5 nearby. In most urban areas, other suitable trees will be close enough.
- Position: Plant in a full sun position for the best fruit.
- Soil: Prefers fertile, deep, well-draining soil. Can tolerate clay if drainage is improved. Avoid sandy or badly draining soil.
- Hardiness: Fully hardy in the UK. Late frosts can damage the flowers, which may reduce the fruit yield for that year. Protect blossoms 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 the main pests and diseases for cherries, including cracking. Watch for aphids and caterpillars, which can be washed away with soapy water. Protect ripening fruit from birds using netting or bird scarers.
