Prunus avium - Wild Cherry is an attractive species not only aesthetically but also in commercial terms. The timber from Wild Cherry is highly valued in Europe with the top quality pieces destined for the veneer industry.

A large deciduous tree that requires plenty of space. Expect all year round interest with Wild Cherry. It has deep reddish brown shiny bark and the new bright green toothed leaves appear simultaneously with the long lasting clusters of white flowers. Once pollinated the flowers develop into globular shiny, deep red cherries. The leaves turn gold through to red in the Autumn to provide a spectacular show.

We produce this species from multiple seed sources including an Improved seed source. The breeding work to produce the Improved seed was carried out by the Future Trees Trust.

WHAT TYPE OF TREE SHELTER DO I NEED?

If protection is required for the Prunus avium - Wild Cherry then you may wish to consider a ventilated shelter such as the Tubex Combitube which will provide an open, airy environment which is preferred by this species.

Find out more about the benefits of tree shelters and information on sizing on our Tree Shelter Guide page.

WEED CONTROL AND MULCHING

Don't forget that good weed control around newly planted trees and shrubs is vital to reduce moisture stress and competition. This will improve plant survival and enhance growth.

You may prefer to use our range of mulch mats and pegs, including our 100% biodegradable BioJute Mulch Mat, in order to avoid having to spray herbicide.

Give your plants the best start possible by using our professional Controlled Release Fertiliser granules when planting.

The use of improved planting stock should be a priority when timber production is a management objective of woodland creation and reforestation. The higher yield and better form of this material makes it the best option for timber production, while its genetic diversity can provide a better chance of adapting to future climate and invasive pests and diseases.

Cheviot Trees produce cell grown plants grown from Improved seed sources. The breeding work to produce this seed was carried out by the Future Trees Trust.
