Fruiting Cherry Trees - Bareroot
In our opinion, breeding these cherry trees and their incredible fruit stands as one of agriculture's greatest achievements. Sweet cherries belong to the species Prunus avium and mostly need a pollination partner, so we have selected a compatible range of the best cherry trees for you to choose from. In our opinion, there is one supreme sour cherry tree , the versatile Prunus cerasus Morello. Morellos are self-fertile, extra hardy and are famous for making delightfully tangy jam.
Most of our cherry trees come in three sizes: Bushes take up relatively little space, while a half standard is perfect if you want a larger tree. A maiden can be sculpted over a few years to make a fan or an espalier. These barerooted trees are delivered to you straight from the ground, which both guarantees healthy plants and juicy savings.
Pricing: We keep our prices low because we only sell by mail order. Every tree has discounts on larger orders and our wholesale price starts at just 10 or more trees - have a look at each entry for more details.
Rootstocks: Cherry trees, like all edible fruit trees, are propagated by taking cuttings from an adult tree and grafting them onto a rootstock. The rootstock used will determine the tree's rate of growth and adult size. We use Colt rootstocks, which are as close as it gets to being universal. They give you the choice of training your cherry tree into just about any shape you like and, if you have the space and just want a normal cherry tree, it won't grow taller than 4-5 metres - perfect for a big crop that is mostly in reach from a stepladder.
Delivery information: The planting and delivery season for edible cherry trees is November through to February. You can place an order at any time for delivery at the beginning of the following season. We will not charge your card until your plants are about to be shipped. You will be notified by e-mail of the delivery date, plants come with full planting instructions and are sent by 24 hour courier service to arrive in good condition.
