A bushy, deciduous fruiting cherry tree with fragrant white flowers in late spring, followed by large, sweet, yellow cherries flushed with red when ripe. This traditional ‘white cherry’ variety produces tangy, firm-fleshed, high-quality fruit with pale golden flesh, making it an excellent choice for cottage and urban gardens. ‘Bigarreau Napoléon’ requires a pollination partner such as ‘Bigarreau Burlat’ to produce a crop from late July through August.

Pollination Information: Not self-fertile, this cherry requires another variety of cherry nearby. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group 4, however it is possible to use one from group 3 as well.

Garden care:

When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Stone fruits like the cherry should be lightly pruned in the summer because they are prone to a disease called Silver Leaf which enters through cuts. If you prune in late summer, the sap is slowing but is still running fast enough to seal up any wounds. Lightly prune to retain shape and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.
