Duo cherry tree has been grafted with these two lovely cherries and both varieties crop late July-early August: Napoleon Bigarreau - Large yellow fruits with deep red flush. Variks Black - A sweet, dark-skinned cherry. Given that cherries are such a well-loved fruit, it’s surprising that they are not more widely grown in our gardens. Grown on Colt rootstock, giving a very productive tree with good fruit size, but compact growth so it can be grown in a small space, either free-standing or trained against a wall or fence. For growing and planting advice read our leaflet The_Fruit_Garden.
The best sour cherry! Produces large, small stoned fruit with a delicious tart flavour. Makes a wonderful cherry pie. Vigorous, hardy and hugely productive. RHS Award of Garden Merit winner. (Part of the English Heritage fruit variety range.) For growing and planting advice read our leaflet The_Fruit_Garden.
Large, fleshy, normal sized fruit of intense red colour. Ripens in mid June. Cherry variety is Stella which has a maximum height after 7 years of 1m. Self-fertile. Supplied in a 4 litre pot at a height of approximately 70cm (27½). All trees need pruning in some way and trees are very adaptable. What makes our patio range special is that they are quite happy in a pot for their lives, and naturally have an eventual height that does not exceed 2m, but they are just as happy and productive at 75cm. That is down to rootstock and the clonal selection. Please see our supplier’s comments about his trees - In this image (under the main image) is a Garden Sun Red apple tree which I have grown in the same pot for the last 5 years. As you can see it is my height and that’s the height I wish it to be. It would be equally happy at 75cms though. Just to the left of me in the image is a patio almond which is now 7 yrs. old and as you can see that is just 75cms high and covered in fruits. It’s the size I wanted it to be.
