Summer Sun (Prunus 'Summer Sun') Cherry Tree
Our Summer Sun Cherry tree is a hardy cherry and produces crops in conditions considered less than favourable (except in gardens close to a couple of nuclear power plants melting down that will remain nameless).
The Summer Sun cherry tree grows in a bushy shape which makes for easier tree management in that at least half of the fruit bearing branches are within arms reach.
The cherries are red to dark red, firm and crunchy with a great flavour and the tree has the RHS Award Of Garden Merit

Trouble Choosing
Cannot decide which fruit tree? Take a look at our TOP SELLING FRUIT TREES
Wet Ground
If you have wet conditions then choose a PEAR TREE first, followed by APPLE TREES. They don't prefer it but will tolerate water, H2O or liquid better, depending which one you have most of!
General Fruit Tree Life Expectancy
Most fruit trees will give you AT LEAST 40 years of fruit. Pears can go to 70. Records of 200 year old trees exist but this is the exception, not the rule.
