Patio Cherry Tree
- With their delicious fruits and lovely flowers, cherry trees are hard to beat. Now, you can grow one on your patio! Kept to just 1.5m in height, patio cherry trees make a great addition to any outdoor space.
- ‘Stella’ is an RHS-award-winning variety that yields large cherries with exceptional flavour, as well as displaying good disease resistance.
- ‘Sunburst’ reliably produces large quantities of sweet cherries that are perfect both for eating fresh, as well as using in desserts and baking.
- ‘Summer Sun’ is another Award of Garden Merit (AGM) winner, growing well in cooler climes and producing impressive crops of fruit even in poorer summers.
- ‘Kordia’ boasts large, crack-resistant black cherries with a phenomenal taste and rich flavour profile.
- Our growers ensure your patio tree has a strong, developed root system and thick main stem before being sent to you.
- It's been grown on a dwarfing rootstock and pruned to a compact size during its time at the nursery. Plant your tree in a small pot to help stunt growth and prune yearly to help keep the desired shape and size.

Will this grow in my garden?
Can I grow this in a pot?
Yes, a patio cherry tree thrives in pots; a 40 to 50-litre container filled with a soil-based compost will provide an excellent home for it.
How big does it get?
The patio cherry tree typically reaches a mature height and spread of 1.5 to 2 metres.
How much sunlight does this need?
The patio cherry tree thrives in full sun and needs around 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal blossom and fruit development.
What kind of soil does this plant prefer?
The patio cherry tree requires a deep, fertile, and exceptionally well-drained soil, as it is highly susceptible to root rot in poorly drained conditions.
How much watering does this plant need?
The patio cherry tree requires consistent watering of roughly 10 litres per week, but it is crucial to avoid waterlogging as cherries are sensitive to overly wet soil.
Will this plant need pruning?
Yes, the patio cherry tree requires pruning in mid-summer to minimise the risk of silver leaf disease. Light pruning is usually sufficient to maintain a compact size suitable for a pot.
How hardy is this plant?
Cherry trees are fully hardy to H6, withstanding temperatures down to -20°C across the UK, though trees grown in patio containers may need their pots wrapped during extremely cold spells to protect the roots.
