Cherry Trees
Fruit Trees, Nut Trees and Fruit BushesIf you are going to plant a tree or bush, then it is going to be there for some years. So it's well worth spending some time looking at the different varieties and going for something that will be productive and providing you with a good crop in years to come. Time spent to prepare the ground properly will repay you many times over. Fruttoni Cherry CinderellaProlific crops of tasty cherries A very compact-growing, self fertile, disease resistant variety, producing a prolific crop of rich red cherries with a lovely flavour. The fruit is particularly delicious eaten straight from the tree! Height after 10 years approximately 1.5m (5'). Supplied in a 5 litre pot. Price: £19.99 More Information from Suttons Seeds Cherry Crown MorelloA very good 'sour' cherry, producing large red fruit that is excellent for cooking in pies and jam. It makes an attractive spreading tree with beautiful spring blossom, and is very cold tolerant - one of the few trees that will thrive on a north facing wall! Pick from late July. Given that cherries are such a well loved fruit, it's surprising that they are not more widely grown in our gardens. Perhaps people are put off by childhood memories of giant, unmanageable trees; if so then think again!
