Low stem cherry tree (Prunus avium 'Bigarreau Napoleon') BIO - 5 liter pot

'Bigarreau Napoléon' is a classic sweet cherry that produces large, yellow-pink fruits in June–July with firm flesh and a juicy, aromatic flavor. This cherry tree grows compactly (approx. 3–4 m), is prolific, and ideal for the garden. The fruits are delicious eaten fresh, but also excellent for jam or pastries. For optimal yield, cross-pollination with another sour cherry variety can be beneficial, or consider planting two trees of the same variety.

What is a low-stemmed tree?
Low-stemmed means the tree is grafted onto a slow-growing rootstock, allowing the saplings to bear fruit faster and grow shorter. The advantages of this are that they're suitable for smaller (vegetable) gardens, allowing you to grow more varieties in the same space. It's also convenient because you can harvest easily, safely, and without needing a long ladder.

Tips and care:

• Planting: Because the trees are delivered in pots, they can be planted year-round. It's best to plant in the fall, when the soil is still warm and moist, allowing the trees to take root well. Plants planted in the fall have a more developed root system than those planted in the spring.
• Open ground or pots: You can also grow all low-stemmed fruit trees in pots. The larger the pot, the better they will thrive. They will always grow better and produce more fruit in the open ground.
• Support: Provide support with a stake during the first year. Low-stemmed trees are easy to harvest and remain compact and manageable.
