Prunus Avium plants provide you with year-round interest, as the spring flowers, green leaves, and wonderful cherries burst lovely pops of colour throughout the seasons.
Bare root Wild Cherry plants are only available to buy and plant from November - March, but can be pre-ordered at any time outside of the bare root season.
Wild Cherry plants produce long-lasting flowers during Spring, which droop down in long clusters. The bright-green, oval leaves will provide a beautiful contrasting background to the blooms, and the glossy summer cherries add a gorgeous array of colour, too. By Autumn, this is all topped off with stunning, warmly coloured leaves.
Though wild cherries are more bitter than usual, they will always be snapped up quickly by the birds.
Please note: You must plant your bare root plant as soon as possible after delivery (within 2 days at most). The roots are tender and need to remain moist.
Though Wild Cherry plants are easiest to maintain at 4m (especially when looking for a hedge), they have an ultimate height of 12m.
As soon as your bare root plant arrives, dunk it into a bucket of water for at least 2 hours. The roots must be wet when planted.
If planting as a hedge, we recommend keeping it looking natural by not clipping. It will not tolerate any vigorous pruning, either.
However, if wanting to give it a prune, do so after the fruiting season (during Winter is best, as the plant is dormant). It should only need a light prune, ideally only cutting back dead wood and branches.

Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
Our bare root discount deals include bundles of 50, 100, and 250 plants. The bigger the bundle, the higher the discount.
