Cherry trees

Cherries conjure the image of a hot sunny summer’s day more than any other fruit. No fruit tastes better straight off the tree than cherries. Cherry trees are popular garden fruit trees not just because of their delicious fruit but also because of the profusion of white blossom in the spring and attractive red and gold display of colour in the autumn. Cherry trees are relatively easy to grow. The main problem has always been to prevent birds from taking the fruit. With the advent of modern dwarf cherry rootstocks it is now possible to grow smaller, more manageable trees which can be netted to protect the fruit from the birds.

Here at Keepers Nursery we offer over 50 varieties of cherry tree for sale in any one year and we can produce many others to order. We have listed a relatively small range of the most popular and our recommended varieties. You can see the full range by clicking on the relevant links below.
