Planting & Care

Achieve impressive fruit yields even in compact gardens with this space-saving cordon tree.
Your tree arrives expertly pre-trained into a single vertical stem with short, fruiting side branches.
Choose from celebrated varieties like 'Stella', an RHS award-winner with sweet dessert cherries.
Enjoy the stunning spring display of 'Sunburst', which produces large, delicious cherries in summer.
For culinary creations, the self-fertile 'Morello' offers tart cherries perfect for pies, jams, and syrups.

Species: Cherry
Features: RHS Award of Garden Merit, Self fertile (variety dependent)
Flowering Time: March to April
Harvest Time: July to August
Flower Colour: Beautiful white blossoms appear in spring.
Position: Full sun
Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained, and slightly acidic soil deep enough for the root system to establish.
Hardiness: H6 - Fully hardy, withstanding temperatures down to -20°C.
Habit: Cordon (columnar). Trees are trained with a single vertical trunk and short, fruit-bearing spurs.
Eventual Spread: Approximately 0.5m.
Uses: Eating fresh, cooking, jams and desserts.

Planting: Can be planted at any time of year in any fertile, well-drained soil. Choose a position in full sun.
Pruning: To maintain the cordon shape, prune annually. In late August, cut back new shoots longer than 20cm to one leaf beyond the basal cluster (the small group of leaves where new growth began). As the tree matures, you may need to thin out crowded or less productive spurs during winter.
Pests & Diseases: Varieties like 'Stella' and 'Sunburst' have good resistance to cracking and canker. Aphids and caterpillars can occasionally be an issue but are easily washed off with soapy water.

Product Specifications

Height on Arrival: 120-150cm
Supplied As: Bare Root
Rootstock: Grafted onto a Colt rootstock. While trees on this rootstock can reach 4-5m, the cordon training keeps the ultimate height much shorter and manageable.
