• Crops in : Late August onwards

Description

The largest of the cooking cherries, with very juicy dark red fruits for cooking in pies, making jams or used to make your own wine or Cherry Brandy.

The trees are self fertile and grow very well against a north facing wall or in a container on the patio, producing a bumper crop from late August onwards.

Unlike traditional cherry trees the modern 'Gisela 5' rootstock has meant that varieties are these days very productive with good fruit size, but with compact growth so that it can be grown in a small space, either free standing or trained against a wall or fence or planted in containers on the patio. Cherries make an attractive tree both in flower or when laden with fruit.
