Recommend a sweet cherry
 

Im want to grow a cherry tree,so I wondering if anyone had any recommendations on which variety.

(it will be on a giesela5 rootstock in a large pot on a hot patio (when its sunny) against a south facing wall)

must be self fertile.

Cheers

Ed

Not bad, LOL....Im not interested in Mrs Blair either.

Stella, is going to be a firm favourite (not a great deal of SF cherries)

After some delay, a time to order approaches, to order a sweet cherry.

Sunburst

or

Stella?

Any thoughts?

Hi Ed,

I haven't tried Sunburst, but I have grown and enjoyed Stella - alas, so did
the local birds. If you have an appropriate wall or fence, consider getting
a fan-trained cherry, so you can net the fruits against bird attack. This
method also simplifies pruning and cropping, as well as taking up less
garden space. It makes a stunning feature in the garden all year round.

Are you stuck to self fertile ones?

If not I'd recommend Merton Biggareau (hope that's spelt right)
I grow that and Stella, and it seriously outcrops stella and has proved
a reliable cropper. I have it on dwarfing root stock and have a big net I
wrap round, so that I get to eat the cherries.

Alas, im am as i dont have enough room for two trees. Shame as that sounds good. Thanks anyway.

Im leaning towards sunburst as its more unusual.
