Prunus avium 'Athos'® Unique cherry bush, 3-litre pot

Unique product: the Prunus Athos is the very first cherry bush that can be planted in a pot or in the ground. Athos® produces many delicious, very dark red cherries that can be harvested in June/July, depending on the weather conditions. The cherries are medium-sized and sweet in taste. The variety is very winter-hardy and not susceptible to disease.

Athos® is the result of approximately 60 years of crossbreeding research. As far as we know, it is the only cherry plant in the world that grows on its own root without breeding. The plants are self-pollinating and bear fruit within two to four years after receipt, depending on the circumstances.

In a pot the plant will not grow higher than approximately 100-150 cm, also depending on the pot size, and in the open ground a maximum of approximately 200 to 250 cm, depending on the location. Protect your cherries from birds!
