Cherry tree 'Hedelfinger Riesenkirsche'

Low trunk 80cm high - 5 litre pot. The Hedelfinger Riesenkirsche is an impressive cherry tree, famous for its large, dark red fruits that have a sweet and juicy flavour. This tree grows well in well-drained, fertile soil and needs a sunny location to perform best. Hedelfinger Riesenkirsche flowers in spring with white flowers and produces an abundant harvest in July. The tree is not self-pollinating, so it is advisable to plant another cherry tree nearby for better fruit set. Pruning in winter helps to maintain an open crown and promotes healthy growth. The Hedelfinger Riesenkirsche has excellent disease resistance and provides a reliable harvest.

Low stem means that the tree is grafted onto a slow growing rootstock, which means that the trees bear fruit faster and grow less tall. The advantages of this are that they are suitable for smaller (vegetable) gardens, so that you can grow more varieties in the same space. It is also handy that you can harvest easily, safely and without a long ladder.

In the fall, the soil is still warm and moist, which means the trees will take root well in the soil. Plants that are planted in the fall have a better developed root system than plants that are planted in the spring. They will also grow better and can better withstand periods of drought. Because the trees are delivered in pots, they can be planted all year round.
