Product Code:  PRAV120
Out of Season - Next crop available Autumn 2012

From Only: £89.99 Ex VAT
Or £0.75 Per Plant


This RHS Premium Cell Grown Wild Cherry (Prunus Avium) hedge comes with the benefits of container grown plants but the price is nearer the bare root price. The plants come with their root systems intact-- whereas bare root plants can lose the tiny fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that they will become more established quicker than bare root. They can also be planted into warm soils when roots are active-- outside the dormant period. Whereas the bare root season ends between April to September-- September-- October-- March April and May are ideal months for planting cell grown plants. In fact-- unlike bare root-- you can plant cell grown plants throughout the year as long as the roots are kept moist. That is why 60 of the worlds forestry trees are now cell grown

Complete Product Information for Wild Cherry (Prunus avium) Pack of 120 Cell Grown 20/50cms
This RHS Premium Cell Grown Wild Cherry (Prunus Avium) hedge comes with the benefits of container grown plants but the price is nearer the bare root price.

The deciduous Wild Cherry or Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium) hedge is a native cherry species and a hedgerow favourite. In autumn-- the shiny green hedge leaves turn a beautiful orange-- pink or red before falling. The pure white flowers are produced in early spring at the same time as the new leaves. Wild cherry bark is smooth purplish-brown with prominent horizontal grey-brown lenticels on young trees-- becoming thick dark blackish-brown and fissured on old trees. It can grow in any normal fertile soil-- although it prefers none acid rich soils and likes the sun.

This hedge is loved by wildlife. It is hermaphroditic-- and pollinated by bees. The bright red fruit turns dark purple when mature in midsummer. The fruits are readily eaten by birds and mammals-- which digest the fruit flesh and disperse the seeds in their droppings. Some rodents-- and a few birds-- even crack open the stones to eat the kernel inside.

Wild Cherries have been eaten by humans for several thousands of years (although only when ripedark) and their stones have been found in deposits at bronze age settlements throughout Britain. Wild cherry has been highly prized for its timber.
