Sunburst
Canada
Wild cherry, Mahaleb, Colt
Mid June
The Sunburst variety was developed at the Summerland Research and Horticultural Institute, British Columbia, Canada, in 1965. It resulted from the cross of two high-value varieties, Stella and Van. It can be considered an improved version of the popular Stella cherry, sharing many of its excellent traits.
The flesh is juicy and flavorful due to the specific balance of acids and sugars. The taste is excellent.
The fruits are notably large, averaging 12 grams. They are round, glossy, and range from bright red to dark red at full ripeness. The flesh is light red, firm, sweet, crisp, and of high quality. Compared to Stella, the fruits are slightly darker. The pit is small.
Self-fertile.
A fairly resistant variety. Moderately resistant to cracking due to rain.
You can purchase seedlings of Cherry Sunburst at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
