Plant description

A black fruiting variety, ‘Kordia’ is a mid-season sweet cherry producing a heavy yield of large, firm fruit with a good flavour. It has some resistance to cracking but is not self-fertile, so will require a pollinating partner such as ‘Van’ or ‘Morello’. Nodding, white flowers in mid-spring precede the masses of small, edible glossy dark fruits.

Pollination information: Not self-fertile, this cherry requires another variety of cherry nearby. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group 3, however it is possible to use one from group 2 or 4 as well. Good options include 'Stella' or 'Sweetheart'.

How to care for cherry Kordia:

When planting your cherry tree, prepare a hole up to three times the diameter of its root system. Fork over the base of the pit in readiness, incorporating plenty of organic matter into the backfill and planting hole.

Avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil, trees should be planted out and staked as soon as they arrive. If you've ordered a bare root tree, soak the roots in a bucket of water for half an hour prior to planting, or if this is not possible, they can be heeled in temporarily, covering their roots with soil, or potted up.

Protect from cold, drying winds. Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support growth and fruiting. Lightly prune in summer to reduce the risk of silver leaf and bacterial canker, to retain an open ‘goblet’ shape and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.

Please note:

This tree is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
