Description
The Hedelfingen Sweet Cherry Tree is a highly productive variety, producing slightly conical fruits with firm and juicy red flesh, and shiny dark red skin. These cherries have good resistance to splitting. Flowering begins in early April. In order to ensure good fruit set, this self-fertile variety needs to be planted near a Summit or Van Sweet Cherry Tree, within a radius of 20 to 30m (66 to 98ft). Planting is preferably done in autumn for a late harvest, at the end of June.
The Hedelfingen Cherry Tree produces slightly conical fruits that have good resistance to splitting. The cherries have shiny dark red skin and firm, juicy red flesh. Enjoy them fresh after picking or, if the harvest is abundant, use them to make pies, clafoutis, jams, and preserves. Cherries are rich in vitamin C, minerals, and trace elements.
The Hedelfingen variety, originally from Germany, is highly productive. In early April, the Hedelfingen Sweet Cherry Tree is covered with small white flowers that appear before the leaves. This variety is pollinated by Summit or Van varieties. It is indeed necessary to have another cherry tree nearby, within a radius of 20 to 30m (66 to 98ft), to ensure good fruit set. The Hedelfingen variety is rather late and is harvested from the end of June. The harvest can be more or less abundant depending on the year and may exhibit alternate bearing, allowing the tree to replenish its reserves. The fruit production becomes optimal after 6 to 7 years. Cherries should be picked when ripe as they do not ripen after harvest.
The Sweet Cherry Tree (Prunus avium) belongs to the Rosaceae family. It is a medium-sized tree, reaching a height of 5 to 10m (16 to 33ft) at maturity. It is hardy and can withstand temperatures as low as -20°C, although the flowers are susceptible to spring frosts and may be damaged at -2°C. Its rounded habit provides a beautiful shaded space, which is very pleasant during the summer. Its alternate, dentate leaves are shiny and dark green, turning a lovely russet colour in autumn before falling. This Cherry Tree can be planted on a short grass meadow, at the back of a flower bed, or within an orchard.

Planting and care
Easy to grow, the Cherry Tree thrives in any type of soil, whether acidic or chalky. It prefers moist, light soils and is not well-suited to heavy, clay 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 spot, facing west and protected from cold winds in regions prone to spring frosts. Planting is best done in autumn. If planting multiple trees, space them 4 to 5 meters (13 to 16 feet) apart for cup-shaped plants.
Loosen the soil deeply, remove stones and unwanted weeds. Add some sand to improve drainage. Dig a hole 4 to 5 times the size of the root ball. Separate the subsoil from the topsoil. Mix bonemeal or well-rotted compost or potting compost with the subsoil and pour this mixture into the planting hole. Install a stake. Place the root ball, cover with the topsoil and firm it down. Water generously (approximately 10L). Attach 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 extreme heat. Mulch at the base to retain moisture in summer. Protect your harvest by installing either a bird net, aluminum foil sheets, or old CDs. In case of aphid infestation, spray water mixed with black soap.

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.
