  • In this collection, youll receive:
    1. 1 Sunburst Cordon Cherry Tree
    2. 1 Victoria Cordon Plum Tree
  • Standing tall and straight to attention, cordon fruit trees certainly wouldnt look out of place in a formal military parade. But can a soldier produce a sumptuous, ripe plum? Didnt think so
  • Cordon fruit trees are trained and pruned into a single central leader from which short, fruit-bearing spurs branch off. The result is an ingenious, space-saving solution which enables you to grow a fruit tree (or two) in even small gardens.
  • Although cordons were historically grown at a 45 angle against a wall, theyre nowadays just as commonly grown as a freestanding tree in a pot or the open ground. Limited space shouldnt mean limited fruit-growing options!
  • Sunburst is a wonderful sweet cherry variety, yielding delicious dark red cherries in the heart of summer. Eat them fresh or bake them into a delicious, homemade cherry pie the sort that would have a cartoon character floating on the wafting smell
  • Victoria boasts delectable, juicy plums as well as an RHS Award of Garden Merit, and frankly, its just a bloomin fantastic variety (as well as being our grower Johns top recommendation).
  • Our growers have carefully established the proper cordon shape for your cherry and plum trees, meaning all thats left for you to do is give your tree a yearly prune. The bulk of the pruning should be carried out in summer, with the occasional winter prune being useful as the tree gets older. Heres what to do:
    1. Towards the end of August, trim back shoots that are over 20 centimetres long, cutting them down to a single leaf beyond the basal cluster (the grouping of leaves at the base of the current years growth).
    2. If you notice your cordons fruiting spurs are becoming overly crowded which sometimes happens with more mature trees then thin out some of the less productive, older spurs (do this in the winter). Check out our article for more information.
