Description

There’s nothing like the taste of home grown fruit, but if you’re short on space, deciding which tree to choose can be difficult. Not any longer, as we bring you the amazing ‘Queen Mary’ cherry.

Developed to have a naturally columnar habit and no branches, the ‘Queen Mary’ cherry has been bred, rather than pruned into its upright shape, so it will maintain its form without the need for special training or pruning. Stunning spring cherry blossom is followed in July by the fabulous large, dark red and aromatic fruit that's just begging to be eaten!

Self-fertile and reaching a height of just 2m in 5 years, harvesting the fruit of 'Queen Mary' couldn’t be easier as the cherries grow naturally close to the main stem instead of on branches. As well as being a productive fruit tree, it also makes a magnificent addition to your patio or balcony so that you can snack on the delicious cherries, fresh from the tree.

Supplied as a bare root tree, ready to plant, growing to 2m in 5 years.

Top Tips
  • Keep well-watered, and if growing in a pot, use a good quality, soil-based compost.
Care Information
  • On receipt, soak the roots in water for at least two hours (overnight is better). If you can't plant straight away, they should be fine for up to a week if left in a cool, dark, frost-free place - keep the bag around the roots with some water inside.
  • Dig a hole twice the width of the roots, forking over the bottom to loosen the soil, and add some good quality fertiliser such as Blood Fish & Bone (wash your hands afterwards!).
  • Aim to plant at the same depth as the soil mark on the trunk.
  • Holding the tree or plant upright in position with one hand, slowly backfill the hole with soil, and gently shake the plant, so the soil falls back around the roots.
  • Use your heel to compact the soil around the plant to ensure good contact around the roots.
    If you're planting into pots, place some old rocks, stones or gravel in the bottom of the pot for drainage and ballast.
  • No special pruning is required, but If side branches form, remove them in winter.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
