One of our favourite native trees. The Wild Cherry tree Prunus avium has a glorious cloud of white blossom in spring, with late summer fruit giving a vivid splash of shiny purple-red through its green leaves. The autumn brings colours of orange and crimson -red giving a cheery glow as the days darken.
Wild cherries are an asset to a garden with the fruit loved by birds, and the spring blossom is a source of nectar for bees, insects and small wildlife. The small cherries make a delicious cherry brandy.
Plant in moist, fertile well-drained soil in a sunny and if possible sheltered position. Vigorous and easy to grow, Wild Cherry trees do need space growing to a height and width of approx. 12m x 8m

The tree is watered before being 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.
