In New Zealand, cherry tree value is influenced by factors such as the variety, size, age, health, fruit-bearing status, and current market demand. Let’s take a closer look at what shapes the financial value of cherry trees, as well as tips for choosing the right variety for your property.
Cherry Dawson
The 'Dawson' Cherry produces large, black coloured fruit in summer. The fruit has red flesh that is sweet with a lovely flavour. It requires another variety planted alongside (“a pollinator”) to produce good fruit yields, such as 'Early Rivers' or 'Stella'. This deciduous tree grows upright to about 5 m tall and 3 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. Cherries require a cold winter to set fruit, hence they are less suited to regions where winters tend to be mild. The 'Dawson' Cherry is commonly used for fruit production and makes an attractive tree in its own right.
