Description
- Delicious sweet black cherries
- Self-fertile for guaranteed fruit
- Vigorous trees with lovely April-May blossom
- Sweet eating cherry
- Self-fertile
- Large fruits and heavy cropping
Enjoy the first self-fertile black sweet cherries of this popular home-grown variety. The large juicy cherries have a delicious flavour, they are sweetest when the tree is located somewhere that allows it have a long exposure to the sun.
The beautiful blossoms on this variety is beautiful in the spring with the dark fruits being produced in July.
Sunburst does best when planted in well-drained soil and can be trained to grow against a wall or a fence or can be grown simply into small bushy tree.
The fruits are fantastic when eaten fresh or when cooked in pies, tarts and preserves.
We recommend that you give Sunburst a rich soil and grow in a sunny part of the plot. Prune a quarter of the fruited stem in August down to a leafy-shoot further down the stem. This encourages a healthy balance of one and two+ year old stems which produces the maximum amount of cherries.
Rootstock: Colt
Flowering Group: FG3
Years until fruiting from planting: 2-4
Age of tree at despatch: 2
Height at full growth: 3m/10ft
Potted in a 10L pot and fully rooted, height on delivery approx 4-5ft /120-150cm depending on variety.
In order to ensure a good pollination pick fruit trees from within the same or from adjacent flowering groups.
We may prune your tree before it arrives to your door. We do this to encourage your tree to branch freely which makes them better looking and more productive.
During summer delivery, our plants may exhibit signs of nature's hustle and bustle on their leaves. Since we have a high concentration of plants on the nursery, a variety of insects are drawn to them as a source of food and nutrition. We feel that this is all part of gardening and have to strike a balance between keeping the plants healthy for our customers and not interfering too much with natural lifecycles.
We try to use as many natural methods of control as possible and only intervene as a last resort. So you may see some leaves that are discoloured or with small areas where the insects have been eating them. Any high levels of damage or attack will have been dealt with prior to delivery and plants graded out as best as possible when selected for packing. No plants will be delivered with damage that will affect the future growth or success of harvest.
