Product Description
This incredible variety is the first self-fertile black sweet cherry. Producing large round juicy cherries, they have an excellent flavour, the sweetest results will be when the tree is situated where it can get long exposure to the sun. The cherry blossom is beautiful in the spring from April to May where the fruit is then produced and ready for picking in July to the end of August. The fruit will grow amongst bushy, deciduous foliage and can be eaten fresh or used within cooking for pies. They will do best in well-drained soil and will require regular pruning to promote new growth. They are fully hardy, but the blossoms will need protection from frost as any damage will impact on the fruit. Two-year-old trees grafted onto dwarf Colt root stock supplied.
