Description
The 'Summit Bigarreau' Sweet Cherry Tree from Organic Agriculture is a variety appreciated for its very large, sweet fruits with firm and crunchy flesh, under a bright red skin. The flowering, white and decorative, begins in late March. To ensure good fruiting, it is recommended to associate this variety with a 'Napoleon', 'Van' or 'Hedelfingen' Sweet Cherry Tree, nearby, within a radius of 20 to 30m. Planting in autumn for a harvest starting in June.
Enjoy them just after picking or, if the harvest is abundant, take the opportunity to make pies, clafoutis, jams and preserves. Cherries are rich in vitamin C, minerals and trace elements.
The 'Summit Biggareau' variety originates from Canada. From late March, the 'Summit' Sweet Cherry Tree is covered with small white flowers that appear before the foliage. This variety is partially self-fertile. The harvest can be more or less abundant depending on the year and present a phenomenon of alternation, which allows the tree to replenish its reserves. Fruit production becomes optimal after 6 to 7 years. Cherries must be picked when ripe, as they do not ripen after harvest. They do not keep for a long time.
The Sweet Cherry Tree (Prunus avium) belongs to the Rosaceae family. It is a medium-sized tree, reaching 5 to 10m in height at maturity. Hardy, it can withstand temperatures down to -20 °C while the flowers fear spring frosts and are damaged from -2 °C. Its rounded habit provides a beautiful shaded space, very pleasant during summer. Its alternate, toothed leaves are shiny and dark green, then take on a lovely reddish hue in autumn before falling. Adapted to all regions, the Cherry Tree can be planted on a short grass meadow, at the back of a bed or in an orchard.
For transport reasons, our highest scions may be pruned before shipping. They are suitable for all common pruning forms: cordons, espaliers, goblets, half-standards and low standards, except for high standards. If you would like more information or advice on the training of your fruit trees, do not hesitate to contact us.

Planting and care
Easy to grow, the Cherry Tree thrives in all types of soil, acidic or chalky. It prefers moist and light soils, and is sensitive to heavy and clayey soils. Choose a sunny location. To minimize the risk of late frost damage to the flowers, it is recommended to plant the Cherry Tree in a sheltered position, facing west and protected from cold winds in regions that experience spring frosts. Planting is preferably done in autumn. If you plant multiple trees, space them 4 to 5m (13 to 16ft) apart for cup-shaped plants.
Loosen the soil deeply, remove rocks and unwanted weeds. Add some sand to improve drainage. Dig a hole 4 to 5 times the volume of the root ball. Make sure to separate the bottom soil from the topsoil. Mix crushed horn or well-rotted compost or potting soil with the bottom soil and pour this mixture into the planting hole. Install a stake. Place the root ball, cover with topsoil and firm it down. Water generously (about 10L). Tie the stake to the plant, crossing the tie in the shape of an 8, without touching the trunk.
During cultivation, watering is not necessary except in case of high temperatures. Mulch around the base to maintain freshness in summer. Protect your harvest by installing, as desired, a bird net, aluminum foil or old CDs. In case of aphid attack, spray with soapy water.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
