large cherry tree
If you’re dreaming of a show-stopping specimen for your garden, a large cherry tree offers beauty, bounty, and shade all in one. With their lush blossoms and abundant fruit, large cherry trees are a favourite choice for New Zealand gardeners who want an impressive landscape feature, reliable harvests, or simply a touch of springtime magic. Choosing the right variety and understanding the growing needs of a large cherry tree will help ensure years of stunning blooms and delicious cherries.
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.
