Grow this black cherry variety with a sweet-tart flavour. Fruits are a deep glossy red when ripe and as they ripen, the sweeter they become. The Regina cherries often score high in taste tests compared to other similar varieties.

Our trees grow perfectly in pots on sunny patios reaching a manageable 1.2m (4ft). Suited to the northern climate and first found in Germany at the turn of this century, particularly resistant to fruit-craking, which can be caused too much moisture intake at time of ripening, ie in wet Summers. A very good alternative to Cherry 'Van'. This is not self-fertile and will need another cherry variety in close proximity.

Fruit is preceded by a wealth of flowers, bringing in important pollinating insects early in the year which stick around to pollinate pea, beans and other fruiting vegetables.

We recommend you prune lightly in August to create a good canopy shape. Remove any wayward branches fully that spoil the overall shape of the tree. Prune around a quarter of the fruit stems to a leafy-shoot further down the stem.

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.
