Cherry Tree Pollinator Duo for Cold Regions in Pots

This pollinator duo of cherry trees for cold regions brings together the varieties 'Bigarreau Summit' and 'Bigarreau Hedelfingen', particularly cold-resistant. Planted in the same garden, within a radius of 20 to 30m (66 to 98ft), these two trees that bloom at the same time in March-April pollinate each other, ensuring a plentiful and delicious harvest in June-July. Fruit trees are preferably planted in autumn, in deep, loose and rich soil.

This duo consists of:

- x1 'Bigarreau Hedelfingen' Cherry Tree: a very productive variety, rather late, producing slightly conical fruits with firm and juicy red flesh, and shiny dark red skin. These cherries are resistant to bursting. Their red flesh is firm and juicy. Harvest from late June to the end of July. The tree reaches about 6m (20ft) in all directions.

- x1 'Bigarreau Summit' Cherry Tree: a variety originating from Canada, producing very large, sweet, juicy and tasty fruits, with firm and crunchy flesh, and bright red skin. Its cherries, of excellent flavour, are harvested from June onwards.

The Bigarreau Cherry Tree belongs to the Rosaceae family. It is a deciduous tree of medium size, reaching 5 to 10m (16 to 33ft) in height at maturity. Hardy, it can withstand temperatures down to -20°C (1°F) while the flowers are afraid of spring frosts and are damaged from -2°C (28.4°F). Its rounded habit provides a beautiful shaded space, very pleasant during summer. Its alternate dentate leaves are shiny and dark green, then take on a lovely reddish hue in autumn before falling. Adapted to all regions of Europe, the Cherry Tree can be planted on a lawn, at the back of a bed or in an orchard. Cherries are rich in vitamin C, minerals and trace elements. Enjoy them just after picking or, if the harvest is abundant, use them to make pies, clafoutis, jams and preserves.

Very hardy in most regions of France, the Cherry Tree tolerates winter cold more easily than summer heat. The flowers can be damaged during spring frosts, so it is recommended to plant cherry trees in sheltered positions, facing west and protected from cold winds in regions that experience quite significant late frosts.

A fruit tree trained in a goblet shape does not have a central leader (vertical main stem), but branches radiating from its trunk. This particular form allows for good penetration of sunlight and air into the branches, which promotes fruit development and ripening, while limiting the development of diseases.
