Prunus avium 'Sylvia'
Patio CherryTree 'Sylvia'
Prunus is a genus of flowering and fruiting trees and shrubs, including cherries, peaches, plums, nectarines, apricots and almonds. They can be grown as trees, or trained as fans or espaliers against walls or fences. Some are self-fertile, and will bear fruit without a pollinating partner. Some varieties are grown just for their flowers, ('flowering', or 'ornamental' cherries), and others for their fruit. 'Sylvia' is a compact variety, small enough to grow in a container, that has white blossom in Spring, followed by red fruit in mid Summer, and Autumn colour when the leaves turn red before falling. This tree is self-fertile, but cropping will be improved by having a pollinating partner.

Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Cherries prefer deep, fertile and well-drained soil with pH 6.5-6.7. They dislike shallow, sandy or badly drained soils. Acid cherries tolerate some shade and are suitable as fan-trained trees against north-facing walls or fences, or as open centred bush trees. Best planted in full sunlight.
