Planting & Care

Delicious, aromatic, deep red cherries with a distinct sweet flavour, perfect for eating straight from the tree.
Produces an abundance of fruit over a long harvesting period from late July to August.
A self-pollinating variety (Pollination Group 4) that yields well on its own, though a nearby partner can improve crops.
An adaptable tree that thrives with pruning and is suitable for training into fan or espalier shapes.
Colt Rootstock: A semi-dwarfing rootstock limiting the tree to a maximum size of 4m in height and width, ideal for average gardens.
Cordon Trained: Pruned to grow upright with short side branches, reaching a maximum of 2m high and 1m wide, perfect for small spaces.
Dwarf: Specifically pruned for pot cultivation on a patio, reaching a maximum size of 1.5m high and 1m wide while remaining productive.
Supplied in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic, is fully recyclable, and promotes a healthier root system by reducing root spiraling.
Expertly pruned before shipping to encourage a robust, bushy shape and prevent legginess.

Latin Name: Prunus avium
Species: Cherry
Features: Easy to grow, Self fertile
Tasting Notes: Dark, red cherries with a distinct sweet, aromatic flavour
Uses: Eating
Flowering Time: March
Harvest Time: July, August
Pollination: Self-fertile (Pollination Group 4). Does not require a pollination partner but may produce better crops if one is nearby.
Position: Full sun
Hardiness: Hardy. May require some protection from very late frosts as this can damage the flowers and reduce the fruit yield for that year.
Soil: Happy in most soils except sandy. Prefers fertile, well-draining soil and can tolerate clay if drainage is improved.
Pest & Disease: Good resistance. Protect from birds with netting. Prune to improve airflow and reduce the risk of bacterial canker.

Planting Time: Can be planted year-round.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For container-grown trees, water every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. Once established, water only during dry spells. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often.
Feeding: This plant does not require feeding.
Pruning: Some structural pruning should be done each winter to ensure your cherry tree maintains a productive shape, improves yields, and prevents disease.
