Prunus Avium 'Vega'
Sweet Cherry Tree 'Vega'
Sweet cherry trees can be grown as small open trees, or trained as fans or espaliers against walls or fences. They can also be grown in large containers. 'Vega' bears large sweet red and gold fruits. The fruits don't get eaten by birds as much as most varieties - possibly because of their size. Probably still a good idea to net them, though!

Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Cherries prefer deep, fertile and well-drained soil with pH 6.5-6.7. They dislike shallow, sandy or badly drained soils. Acid cherries tolerate some shade and are suitable as fan-trained trees against north-facing walls or fences, or as open centred bush trees. Best planted in full sunlight.
