Plant description

White-fleshed cherries are said to be the sweetest of all. Traditionally white cherries have always needed pollination partners but this new cultivated variety is the first ever self fertile white cherry.

The large, delicious fruits are ready to harvest around the end of July and can be used for eating or cooking - if you can resist them for that long!

The plants we sell are around 1.2-1.5m tall and 2-3 years old at the moment and will usually start to produce fruit in their third or fourth year.

The crown of this small tree has been grafted onto the upright stem of the rootstock at a height of 70cm, which will limit the eventual height. Perfect for a small garden or growing in a large pot with a loam-based (John Innes) compost.

How to care for cherry Stardust ('13-7-70') (PBR):

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. If potting up, use a loam based (John Innes) based compost and make sure it is kept well watered during warm weather.

Avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil, trees should be planted out and staked as soon as they arrive. 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 plant is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
