Plant description

'Nabella' is a late season cherry that bears abundant crops of dark red to black fruits with a tart flavour, perfect for cooking and making jams. Unlike ‘Morello', 'Nabella' shows resistance to dieback but is also self-fertile, meaning it can produce fruit without requiring a pollination partner. Additionally, it serves as an excellent pollinator for other cherry varieties that are self-sterile.

Pollination information: Though self-fertile, this cherry will produce a bigger crop if planted with another variety of cherry nearby. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group 4, however it is possible to use one from group 3 as well.

How to care for cherry Nabella:

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.
