Commonly Asked Questions
Do cherry trees grow well in the UK?
Cherry trees thrive particularly well in southern and central England. They prefer deep, fertile, well-drained soil that is slightly acidic, with a pH of 6.5–6.7. They are less successful in shallow or sandy soil and may suffer in poorly drained conditions, which can cause root rot.
What month is best to plant cherry trees?
Cherry trees are best planted in autumn (October/November) to allow them time to root during the winter months and sprout in the spring. Early spring (March/April) on frost-free days is also a viable planting time.
Are cherry trees good for small gardens?
Yes, many flowering cherry trees are ideal for small gardens. They cast only light shade, creating perfect conditions for spring bulbs, and don't grow too tall. Some varieties also offer stunning autumn colours.
How far should a cherry tree be planted from a house?
For safety and optimal growth, cherry trees should generally be planted at least 15 to 20 feet away from the house's foundation. This spacing ensures adequate room for both the tree and your home.
Can you grow cherry trees in pots?
Absolutely, cherry trees can be a great addition to any garden and can thrive in patio containers or when trained against a sunny wall. They can even form part of a spectacular wildlife hedge that birds will adore.
