Cherry Tree - Sweetheart Bush (Colt)
Availability: Out of stock
Juicy, crisp, and bursting with flavour, Cherry Tree ‘Sweetheart’ is a standout late-season variety, producing heart-shaped, pearly red cherries from mid to late August. The fruit offers a delicious balance of sweetness with a refreshing hint of tartness, undeniably perfect for eating fresh, baking, or preserving. In spring, it dazzles with blooms of white, drawing in pollinators and adding seasonal beauty to any space.
Grown as a compact bush, ‘Sweetheart’ is ideal for sunny borders, small orchards, or large patio containers. It thrives in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and needs only light pruning and regular watering in dry spells. Self-fertile and easy to maintain, it’s the perfect choice for gardeners looking to enjoy homegrown fruit well into late summer.
Supplied in approx. 12 litre containers grafted on a Colt rootstock. This semi-vigorous variety produces smaller trees with an ultimate height of 2m, perfect for smaller gardens. They prefer medium to heavily fertile soil; if planting multiple fruit trees, place 6m apart from each other.
