Bush cherry trees – perfect for small outdoor areas

If you’re wondering what to plant in your small outdoor space – they why not consider a bush cherry tree?  These are a great idea for those who have limited space for a larger tree, but still want the benefit of an attractive feature in their garden and also trees that provide plenty of fruit.

We have selected four cherry bush trees which perfectly fit the bill.  Three are delicious dessert cherries and one a popular cooking variety.

Cherry bush tree details

The eventual height of a bush-trained tree will be between 2-3 metres from two to three years old.  Our bushes’ central leaders are pruned to approximately 1.2m.  From this point, side branches will grow eventually taking the shape of a ‘traditional tree’.  A gorgeous addition to any small outdoor space.

The benefits of cherry trees

The beauty of including cherry trees in your space is that not only do you get to enjoy beautiful blossom in the spring, but also a stunning display of red, shiny fruit in the summer, which taste delicious too!
