Planting & Care

Savour delicious, aromatic, deep red cherries, perfect for eating fresh from the tree.
Enjoy an abundant harvest over a long period of several weeks.
This adaptable tree thrives with pruning and is suitable for training into fan or espalier shapes.
Harvest your crop from late July to August.
A reliable self-pollinating variety (Pollination Group 4), it yields well without needing a partner tree.
Colt Rootstock: Reaches a maximum size of 4m in height and width, ideal for average gardens.
Cordon Trained: Grows upright to 2m high and 1m wide, perfect for small spaces.
Dwarf: A compact tree reaching just 1.5m high and 1m wide, designed for patio pots.
Supplied in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic and is fully recyclable.
Our trees are typically 18-36 months old and expertly pruned before shipping to encourage a robust, bushy shape.

Species: Cherry
Latin Name: Prunus avium
Tasting Notes: Dark, red cherries with a distinct sweet, aromatic flavour.
Uses: Eating
Features: Easy to grow, Self fertile. Doesn't require a pollination partner to produce fruit but may produce better crops if one is nearby.
Flowering Time: March
Harvest Time: July, August
Position: Full sun
Hardiness: Hardy. May require some protection from very late frosts as this can damage the flowers, which will reduce the fruit yield for that year but not cause lasting damage to the tree.
Soil Type: Happy in most soils except sandy. Prefers fertile, well-draining soil and can tolerate clay if drainage is improved. Does not tolerate sandy or badly draining soil.
Eventual Spread: 4m
Pest & Disease Resistance: Good. Shows some resistance to common cherry pests and diseases, including cracking. Protect from birds with netting. Reduce the risk of bacterial canker by pruning to improve airflow.

Planting Time: Can be planted all year round.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. A container-grown tree will need watering every other day for the first few months, then twice a week until autumn. In the second year, water only in dry spells when the leaves start to wilt. It is better to water heavily and less frequently to encourage deep root growth.
Feeding: This is not a hungry plant and does not require regular feeding.
Pruning: Some structural pruning should be done each winter to ensure your cherry tree maintains a productive shape, which can improve yields and prevent disease.
