Planting & Care

Enjoy delicious, sweet black cherries perfect for both fresh eating and cooking.
A superb choice if you can only plant one cherry tree.
Harvest mid-season, with fruit ready to pick in mid-July.
Self-fertile, so it thrives without needing another tree for pollination.
A dependable and consistent variety, delivering a bountiful harvest every year.
Excellent resistance to common pests and diseases, including fruit cracking.
Suitable for growing in a large pot.
Available on a size-limiting rootstock, making it ideal for average gardens.
Trees are professionally pruned before shipping to ensure strong, bushy growth.

Latin Name: Prunus avium 'Sunburst'
Type: Cherry
Features: Self-fertile
Tasting Notes: Very sweet with a rich flavour
Uses: Eating fresh, cooking
Flowering: April
Harvest: July
Pollination: Self-fertile (Pollination Group 4). Does not require a pollination partner but may produce better crops if one is nearby.
Position: Full sun
Soil: Happy in most soils except sandy. Prefers fertile, well-draining soil.
Hardiness: Hardy. May require some protection from very late frosts which can damage flowers and reduce the fruit yield for that year.
Eventual Size (Colt Rootstock): H4m x W4m
Eventual Size (Cordon Trained): H2m x W1m

Planting Time: Can be planted year-round.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. Water every other day for the first few months, reducing 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: No feeding is required.
Pruning: Some structural pruning should be done each winter to ensure the tree maintains a productive shape, which can improve yields and prevent disease.
Pest & Disease Care: Shows excellent resistance to the main pests and diseases for cherries. Keep an eye out for aphids and caterpillars, which can be washed away with soapy water. Protect ripening fruit from birds using a fruit net or bird scarers.

Product Specifications
