Hardy cherry tree producing beautiful dark red fruits ready to be harvested around mid-July. Self-fertile, it begins fruiting on average three years after planting and prefers to be sheltered from strong winds. Good resistance to diseases.
Spacing: Keep 3.7-4.6 m (12-15') between plants.
Depth: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball; loosen the soil at the bottom of the hole. Plant at the same depth as the cherry tree was in the pot.

Care: prune regularly every 2 years to prevent the plant from producing only on the last high stem. Sometimes you have to think about lowering it somewhat by choosing the right stems.
