Cherry, Sunburst is a popular variety of sweet cherry that is known for its juicy and flavorful fruits. This variety is easy to grow and is a favorite among home gardeners and commercial growers alike.
The best position for planting Sunburst cherry trees is in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. The soil should be rich in organic matter and have a pH level of around 6.0 to 7.0. Cherry trees should be planted during the dormant season, which is typically between late autumn and early spring.
Sunburst cherry trees typically take around 2-5 years from planting to fruiting, depending on the growing conditions. This variety produces large-sized fruits that are ready to harvest in late July to early August.
The tree itself can grow up to 3-4 meters tall and spread out to a width of around 2-3 meters. To encourage healthy growth and fruiting, Sunburst cherry trees should be fed regularly with a balanced fertilizer, preferably every spring.
Sunburst cherry trees are partially self-fertile, meaning they can produce fruit without another cherry tree for pollination. However, planting another variety of cherry tree nearby can increase the likelihood of successful pollination and a larger harvest.
Overall, Sunburst is a delicious and reliable variety of sweet cherry that produces high-quality fruits. It is a great choice for home gardeners and orchard growers, and is sure to delight cherry lovers of all ages.
