The Wild Cherry Tree (Prunus Avium) is a native deciduous tree with a beautiful canopy of white flowers in spring and small, dark cherries in late summer/autumn. The tall pyramidal structure can reach up to 18m at maturity. We've found these to be one of the faster growing garden trees in all well drained soil types. It's an attractive tree with a high conservation value and provides a fruit crop within 3-4 years.
Smaller trees can grow by 1m in height per year, if planted in line with the supplied instructions.
The tree offers a wide range of benefits - its flowers provide nectar to pollinators, and its cherries can be foraged and eaten. Its dense foliage provides a lovely habitat for birds and wildlife. Planting Wild Cherry Trees in your garden creates an attractive, sustainable outdoor space.
Care Instructions
Care Instructions
We only sell potted trees as we have found these have the best chance of survival in most situations, allowing you to plant trees throughout the year.
The cooler, wetter months are always the best time to plant a tree and allow it to establish a new root system whilst it remains fairly dormant. Potted trees can also be planted successfully throughout the spring and summer if they are well looked after.
We recommend mulching and regular watering during the drier periods in the first year or so of growth.
