Cherry ‘Hartland’ (patio)

You won’t need a big garden for this fabulous little Cherry tree. This naturally compact variety is grafted onto dwarf rootstock, making a neat patio tree that can be grown in a large container. Cherry ‘Hartland’ produces a pretty spring display of white flowers which attract clouds of pollinating insects. The sweet, dark red cherries that follow are delicious picked straight from the tree from late July to August. This self-fertile variety makes a superb dessert cherry for a small, sunny patio. If grown in a large patio container, its growth will be restricted and it remain just 1.5m (59″) tall.

• 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 self-fertile and does not require a pollination partner.

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

Please note: Patio trees are derived from clonal selections for dwarfism which ensures a particularly compact growth habit of around 1m (39″) in height.
