The Cherry 'Sunburst' on Gisela rootstock is a high-quality cultivar renowned for its bountiful production of sweet, flavorful, dark cherries. Gisela rootstock imparts dwarfing characteristics, making it an excellent choice for limited spaces and small gardens. This rootstock promotes early fruiting, often within two to three years of planting, enabling gardeners to enjoy the fruits of their labor relatively quickly.

Sunburst cherries are notable for their large size, sweet taste, and deep, burgundy color. They're typically harvested in late spring to early summer, depending on the climate and growing conditions. The Sunburst variety is self-fertile, eliminating the need for a second pollinator tree, and it has a robust resistance to diseases, further simplifying its care.

The Gisela rootstock enhances the overall hardiness of the tree, allowing it to withstand colder winter temperatures and potentially extending its range to regions with more severe winters. It also offers some resistance to common cherry diseases, reducing the likelihood of loss due to infections.

The union of Sunburst and Gisela combines flavor, hardiness, and manageable size, making it an attractive option for both novice and experienced gardeners. This duo ensures consistent, high-quality yields, making the cultivation of fresh cherries accessible to a broader range of enthusiasts.

Gisela rootstock is renowned for cherry trees due to its dwarfing ability, promoting smaller, more manageable tree sizes. It encourages early fruit production, higher yields, and enhanced fruit quality. Suited to diverse soil types, Gisela is resistance-prone, reducing susceptibility to certain diseases, making it favorable for optimizing cherry cultivation.

About Us

During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.

What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
