Cherry Tree - Waterloo

Cherry Tree - Waterloo

'Waterloo' was named after after the battle, rather than the station or the Abba song. It's an old variety, produced - you guessed - in England in 1815. There aren't that many commerically available eating cherries available going back that far, so it's unusual. Amusingly, it's a cross between a French cherry, a Bigarreau, and the early cooking cherry May Duke.

Waterloo's longevity is largely down to it's delicious sweet fruit, although the dark red cherries are small. They have correspondingly small stones.

We sell Waterloo cherry trees as two - three year old bush plants on Colt rootstock to produce a tree around 4m tall.

Supplier: R.V. Roger Ltd.

Please note that we also sell several varieties of edible wild cherry, or "mazzard". We recommend our fruit tree planting kits for all new fruit trees.

We supply all our fruit trees as bare root, so they are only available between November and April. During lifting season, there will be a delay between placing the order and dispatching due to pressure of orders, which are dealt with in date sequence, and the weather. Orders taken from June-October will be confirmed in late October/ early November after a nursery stock take, for dispatch from November. Please consult our planting and care guide on receipt of your order.

Your purchase helps us support a range of charities, which are related to the products we sell.
