Gisela 5 - Rootstock for Cherry trees.
Dwarfing, Approximate height 2.5-3 metres when mature.

Colt - Rootstock for Cherry trees.
Semi dwarfing, Approximate height 3-4 metres when mature.

Bare Root = Field grown trees that have been freshly lifted and supplied with no soil around the roots. Only available during the dormant period November-April
10 Litre = Container grown and can be planted all year round. The size refers to the number of litres of compost that the container holds.
1 Year Maiden = A one year old tree and the size depends on the variety but in general they will be 125cm in height and will have some side branches.
2 Year Bush = A two year old tree that has been pruned back in the first winter to form a bush shape. Generally trees will be 140-160cm in height with multiple side branches. This height guide is an end of summer height.

Fan trained Cherry - Trees grow to an eventual height of around 2 m (7 ft). Although the shortest of all the forms, they will grow to a width of around 3 m and are really only a practical proposition when grown against a wall but please bear in mind that only Cherry Morello can be grown successfully on a north-facing wall or fence.  

 

situation

Plant trees or bushes in a sunny site with good air circulation and average to rich, well-drained soil. They prefer a soil pH of between 6.0 and 6.8 (slightly acidic).

Avoid low areas where frost and standing water can be a problem (especially for sweet types) or sites where cherries, peaches or plums have grown previously.

Most suburban situations provide good pollen due to the close proximity of other gardens. It is not always necessary to have pollinators if the bees and other pollinating insects are generous with their visits. If you have no other Cherry tree close by then select two varieties in the same group or the adjoining group ie group B and D will pollinate group C as will any others in group C. Some varieties are self fertile.

I ordered a fan trained cherry tree on Monday morning and Wednesday morning it was delivered, it was well packaged and healthy, delivery was first class. I have previously ordered from Blackmoor and would have no hesitation in ordering from them again. I have never been disappointed with anything from Blackmoor. Many thanks to all involved.

I ordered 3 of these cherry trees plus an assortment of 12 more trees over the Christmas period. They arrived less than a week after the end of the break in perfect condition, the roots still damp from being lifted in the nursery. They are all planted now and I am throughly satisfied

Yet again, prompt delivery and well packaged healthy looking fruit tree. I wouldn't consider sourcing fruit trees from any other establishment.

My cherry tree has arrived well and in time to celebrate my birthday on Monday! Thank you very much. It was well packed and looks wonderful. I'm also moved to hear about your project in Africa. Well done! I shall recommend you and will be back for more fruit trees and other. Merry X-mas and happy new year to you all.
