Cherry ‘Summer Sun’

A great Cherry tree for our unpredictable UK weather, Cherry ‘Summer Sun’ will produce a large crop of tasty dark red fruits in July each year to give you a tasty treat! A reliable variety that is also reasonably compact in its growth meaning it can be trained against a wall just as readily as being left to grow naturally.

• Cherry rootstocks:
• Gisella 5 – Dwarf reaching a mature height of up to 2m (6′,6″)
• Gisella 6 – Semi vigorous reaching a mature height of up to 4m (13′)
• Colt – Semi vigorous reaching a mature height of 5m (16′)

This variety is not self-fertile. For the heaviest crops it is best grown with another variety. If you only have room for one tree then make sure that a neighbour has a tree close by that can act as a suitable pollinator. Pollination Group 3.

Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years.
Estimated time to best yields: 4 years.
