12L Cherry (Prunus) Sweetheart ® 1.5m

A cherry tree to settle in and reward over time

The Sweetheart Cherry Tree is chosen not just for its fruit, but for the rhythm it brings to a garden. A tree that settles in, finds its place, and quietly builds towards something generous and lasting.

In spring, soft blossom covers the branches, marking the start of the growing season. As summer deepens, the tree produces rich, red cherries — later than many varieties — offering a final, unhurried harvest that feels well worth the wait.

Who this tree is for

This is a tree for those who are ready to plant something with intention. Well suited to gardens with space to grow, or larger patio settings, it offers both ornamental beauty and a rewarding crop over time.

It is often chosen as a meaningful gift, but just as naturally as a tree to plant for yourself — something to return to each season as it establishes and matures.

A later harvest, a longer season

The Sweetheart variety is known for extending the cherry season. While other trees have finished, this one continues, producing sweet, heart-shaped fruit later into summer.

Its self-fertile nature makes it a reliable choice, offering consistency as well as quality, even when planted on its own.

Delivery and ordering

Each tree is prepared to order by our specialist growers and typically dispatched within 7 days. You can also select a future delivery date to suit your plans.

Due to its size and nature, this tree does not arrive with traditional gift wrap, but a personal message can be included with your order, which is often all that is needed when the tree itself carries such meaning.

Planting and care

Plant in a sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil to help the tree establish well. It can be grown in the ground or in a large container, depending on the space available.

Arriving already established, it is ready to settle into its new home, supported by our MyTree™ guidance to help it grow with confidence over time.
