Product Description
Dwarf Patio 'Sunburst' Cherry Tree 3-4ft, Self-Fertile With Big Dark Cherries
These are BARE ROOTED plants which can be planted from the end of October until April and will be dispatched as soon as the weather turns cold and they become dormant.The dispatch date depends on the Autumn temperature and varies from year to year.
A vigorous tree, which is upright at first but later spreading as it matures. The white flowers appear in mid-spring and these are followed by very large, near-black cherries (darker than Stella) from mid June.
This cherry is very productive when grown in a sheltered situation. The fruit is large and sweet with wonderful flavour. Ripens in late June. Pruning should be minimal to prevent disease infection and is best carried out as light tipping of the current season's growth in early June to encourage fruit buds for the following year. This is a self fertile cherry, which will also help to pollinate most other varieties
As with all trees from the prunus family, the leaves will start to appear autumnal and slightly shabby from mid June onwards. This is not a disease, but is mainly due to this years contrasting weather conditions and will not affect the performance of the tree.
Pollination:
It is self-fertile and does not need a pollination partner
For better fruiting plant a compatible partner:
Morello
