Cherry 'Sylvia Column' is a dwarf cherry that bears few side branches, growing into a narrow column that fits into the tightest of spaces. It is ideal for container growing on a patio, terrace, balcony or courtyard. It works equally well against a wall or in a small border and will tolerate dense plantings. White blossom in spring is followed by large, dark red fruit ready for picking in late July. Fruit is juicy, well flavoured and resistant to splitting. Height: 2.5m (8.2ft). Spread: 1m (39in).Self-fertile: But heaviest crops are achieved when grown with a pollination partner. If you only have room for one tree then make sure that a neighbour has a tree close by that can act as a suitable pollinator.Pollination Group: F.Harvest: Late JulyEstimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years.Estimated time to best yields: 4 years.
