Common name: Bird Cherry
 Our Bird Cherry is an attractive, fast growing native deciduous cherry. It carries racemes (strands) small, almond scented white flowers in early summer (May/June) appear after the foliage emerges in spring. Flowers are followed by astringent, edible pea-sized black cherries which ripen in mid-summer. As with most cherries, the foliage turns yellow in autumn.
Bird Cherry is adaptable to a wide range of soils, in particular well drained soils in full sun to part shade.
Bare root hedging is a very low cost way of planting a hedge, but is only available to buy and plant when dormant (November-March). Orders ahead of 1st November will be stored to guarantee an early delivery date.
