Columnar cherry tree ‘Sylvia‘ - Hardy plant

Cherries on the balcony or patio? That's a piece of cake with the cherry tree ‘Sylvia‘ in a nursery pot. Its compact growth makes the ‘Sylvia‘ ideal for planting in a flowerpot. Of course, another possibility is to simply plant it out in the garden. The cherry tree is self-pollinating and its cherries are sweet and firm.The fruit tree blossoms in spring. That's when it reveals its lovely white-pink flowers. A crop will be ready to harvest from summer onwards in the second year after planting. Pruning is not necessary. The cherry tree grows in moisture-retaining soil that we keep nice and moist. It's best to give the tree extra water during dry spells. Sufficient light is needed to ensure good growth, which is why we plant the fruit tree in full or half sun.
