‘Bigarreau Burlat’ is a highly productive, upright, deciduous fruiting tree with sweet, dark red cherries. It thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soils and blooms beautiful white flowers in mid-spring, yielding juicy fruits from June onwards. Ideal for informal gardens and specimen trees, it is not self-fertile so requires a pollinating partner such as ‘Merton Glory’ or ‘Lapins’.

Pollination Information: Not self-fertile, this cherry requires another variety of cherry nearby. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group 2, however it is possible to use one from group 1 or 3 as well.

Garden care:

When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Stone fruits like the cherry should be lightly pruned in the summer because they are prone to a disease called Silver Leaf which enters through cuts. If you prune in late summer, the sap is slowing but is still running fast enough to seal up any wounds. Lightly prune to retain shape and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.
