Care Guide
Excellent pest and disease resistance
Shows good resistance to the main pest and diseases for cherries with the best reistance against cracking. You may see some damage from aphids and caterpillars, which can both be washed away with soapy water. Birds will eat the cherries if given the chance so take steps to prevent this like using a fruit net or bird scarers. Reduce the risk of bacterial canker by pruning to improve airflow and removed rotting organic matter nearby.MORE
Full sun
Plant where the tree will receive around 6-8 hours of sunlight daily in spring/summer.
Any soil except sandy
Prefers fertile well draining soil. Can also tolerate clay soil but you will need to take some steps to improve drainage in the winter. They like deep soil and they don't tolerate either sandy or badly draining soil.
Some structural pruning required
Some pruning should be done each winter to ensure that your cherry tree maintains a productive shape. This can improve yields and prevent disease.
