Few things are more beautiful than spring blossom and the cherry tree walk means having the pleasure of witnessing the blossoms every spring.
Just before spring, gnarled trees, barren and ignored for most of the year, burst into bloom like fountains turned suddenly on. The cherry blossoms hit like a hurricane, cherry plums already broken at the start of the week are changed, their tiny petals now falling and caught on breeze, as the first flush of leaf bud comes to replace them.
Even better, we grow the most luscious varieties of ‘Van’, ‘Stella’ and ‘Lapin’ which are not only beautiful, but are plump and juicy with a chewy, crunchy flesh. We grow two of the best of the specialty types – the sweet and white-fleshed ‘Dame Nancy’ and the extra large ‘Glacier’, perfect for Christmas pies and sour cherry sauce.
At Harvest Days visit our densely planted tunnel of vibrant pink and occasional white deliciousness tunnels, hedged with Japanese box and underplanted with beds of herbs, yielding sweet, juicy cherries, just in time for Christmas.
