Bird Cherries are a suitable tree for all but small gardens. A froth of fragrant white blossom loved by bees in late spring with black cherries adored by birds in summer. Dark green leaves turn a lovely yellow in autumn. A fairly shallow rooted tree, disliking deep cultivation around them. Avoid soils that are very dry or prone to waterlogging. Weed and mulch, preferably with organic matter.
To prevent silver leaf curl it should be pruned to clear any diseased or dead wood before mid-summer. Otherwise if necessary prune after leaves have fallen in winter. A rewarding tree and easy to grow. Suitable for medium and large gardens. Fully hardy, likes sun and can be grown in most soils.
Nature notes. Blossom is beneficial to bees and fruit is loved by birds and other wildlife.
The tree is watered before carefully packed by one of our experienced staff on site. It comes in a cardboard box lined with straw. (We try to use as much recycling material as possible) The box is addressed to the customer or a specified name and address and sent out overnight delivery to arrive on requested dates.
Please note the size of the tree that you are ordering, as our trees are provided for our clients to plant themselves, which may appear at a small size rather than the fully grown tree as shown in the photos. To find out more information, please visit our Delivery & Returns page.
