A tree that has been grown in the field and then lifted out of the ground when dormant. Available from November to March. The roots are more open and the direct contact with the soil encourages them to settle in and establish more readily.
These are 2yr old trees that have been grown 1yr in the field and the second in a pot. Container trees can be planted at any time of the year but establish best when planted during the autumn and need to be watered well during the first summer.
Cherry trees are the perfect addition for any UK garden. Their delicious heart-shaped fruits are ready for picking from late June to early September. The range of varieties we grow covers a lengthy season to suit all needs. We grow a combination of sweet and sour cherries on a range of rootstocks, including Gisela 5 for the smaller gardens, Colt and F.12.1 for bigger gardens or orchards.
Pruning is important after fruiting to encourage beautiful white blossoms in the spring and fruiting for the following year. The most popular garden cherry trees are self-fertile. If a variety is not self-fertile, then the best pollination partner is stated.
Cherries can be eaten straight from the tree, or baked into a lovely pie or cake, or even a lovely alcoholic beverage.
