This cherry is very productive when grown in a sheltered situation. The fruit is large and sweet with wonderful flavour. Ripens in late July. Pruning should be minimal to prevent disease infection and is best carried out as light tipping of the current season's growth in early July to encourage fruit buds for the following year. This is a self fertile cherry, which will also help to pollinate most other varieties. (Please note the picture is for illustration purposes only and is not a Sunburst Cherry Tree)
