Prunus avium - Old cherry tree ‘Kordia’ - Rootstock Gisela 5 - 45L pot - approx. 2m

These ‘old’ fruit trees instantly lend a mature look, character and yield to the garden; fully-grown trees in spacious pots, ready for planting.

The Prunus avium 'Kordia' is one of the most highly regarded sweet cherry varieties, known for its large, dark ruby-red fruits with firm flesh and a sweet, aromatic flavour. The cherries are oblong in shape, very juicy and are among the very best in the cherry category. This mature tree is supplied at a height of approximately 2 metres, grown in a 45 litre pot at Gisela 5 rootstock – a semi-vigorous rootstock that ensures a more compact growth, early fruit set and high yield per square metre.

In spring, the Kordia blooms profusely with white blossoms that attract lots of bees. Harvesting usually takes place in July, with the tree producing large, glossy cherries with an excellent flavour and firm texture. ‘Kordia’ is poor self-pollinating and requires a suitable pollinator, such as ‘Regina’, ‘Van’, ‘Karina’ or ‘Merchant’.

The tree is hardy, is well suited to the Dutch climate and thrives best in a sunny, warm and well-drained soil. Thanks to its mature age and productive rootstock, this tree bears fruit quickly and immediately adds volume to the garden.

To ensure they are transported with optimum protection, these heavy, mature trees shipped on a pallet.
