inspired by sarah raven on GW, im looking for a good self fertile black cherry, on a fairly small rootstock.
I picked up one off the programme "black glory", and another ive seen is "sunburst".
Any suggestions, i will consider all forms of tree shape. im not sure where to put it yet !
Can't help with black cherries, Ricardo, but Ido have sweet cherry Stella which is self fertile on a dwarf root stock and this has cropped really well in the few years I've had it. Altho I don't think it was intended for training as a fan that is what I have done with it on a very sunny wall/wire fence. Good luck anyway and I'm sure someone will know be growing back cherries.
Prunus cerasus 'Morello' on Colt rootstock is a self fertile black cooking cherry that I have bought recently from Buckingham Nurseries.
im getting interested in the supercolumn trees from c. bowers
Im getting carrried away and might invest in 5
that is 2 cherry, 1 apple, 1 pear and 1 peach, why not they should crop for years !
Picked up an 'end of season bargain' at a fruit nusery near me today - a 2 year old already fan-trained Morello on dwarfing Colt rootstock - for just £10 :o ;D ;D ;D
I too saw the Sarah Raven prog last night - inspiring stuff
