Overview

This interesting new addition is a cross between a cherry and an apricot. A self-fertile plant, it will will not need a pollination partner to produce its deep purple-red fruits, which are larger than a cherry but smaller than an apricot. When planted in a warm and sheltered spot with freely draining soil, it's a reliable cropper - and the white flowers in spring are also pretty.

Care guide

When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Protect the blossom from frost, and prune in summer to reduce the risk of disease.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
