Planting & Care

A classic deciduous hedge, providing year-round interest for your garden.
In late spring, clusters of white flowers emerge from red buds, attracting bees and other pollinators.
By summer, bitter red cherries appear, offering a valuable food source for garden birds.
The bright green foliage turns to vibrant, fiery hues in autumn.
A fully hardy, native UK species, perfect for creating a natural-looking wildlife haven.
Can be grown as a single-species hedge or as part of a mixed native boundary.

Species: Cherry (Prunus avium)
Features: Native to UK, Wildlife benefactor, Colourful berries & fruits
Flowering Season: Late Spring (April - May)
Flower Colour: White
Position: Full sun
Soil Type: Any well-drained, fertile soil
Hardiness: Fully hardy (H6: -20 to -15°C)
Habit: Bushy, ideal for hedging
Eventual Spread: 8m+ (if unpruned)
Growth Rate: Average (20-40cm per year)
Pest & Disease: Good resistance, but may be affected by silver leaf, bacterial canker, blossom wilt, aphids, and caterpillars.

Planting Time: Can be planted from January to November.
Spacing: For a dense hedge, plant 5-7 plants per metre in a double staggered row.
Position: For the best flowers and fruit, grow in a sunny, sheltered location.
Soil: Adapts to all soil types but prefers well-drained, fertile soil. If planting in heavy clay or sandy soil, mix in horticultural grit to improve drainage.
Watering: Water well after planting and during dry spells for at least the first year.
Feeding: Not required; this is a low-maintenance plant that gets nutrients from the soil.
Pruning: Prune in winter when the plant is dormant, checking for nesting birds first. Lightly remove any dead or damaged branches. Avoid over-pruning to reduce the risk of disease.
