‘Merchant’ is a fantastic early-cropping sweet cherry known for its reliability and heavy yields of large, dark red fruit in early summer. Although it is not self-fertile, it is an excellent dessert cherry with a sweet and rich flavour. This award-winning (RHS) tree is easy to grow and produces beautiful, aromatic cherries that ripen to a deep red-black, making it a delightful addition to any garden.
Pollination Information: Not self-fertile, this cherry requires another variety of cherry nearby. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group 3, however it is possible to use one from group 2 or 4 as well.
When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Stone fruits like the cherry should be lightly pruned in the summer because they are prone to a disease called Silver Leaf which enters through cuts. If you prune in late summer, the sap is slowing but is still running fast enough to seal up any wounds. Lightly prune to retain shape and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.
