“Dawson” is a variety of Cherry that produces large, black coloured fruit in summer. The fruit has red flesh that is sweet with a lovely flavour. It requires another variety planted alongside (“a pollinator”) to produce good fruit yields, such as “Early Rivers” or “Stella”. This deciduous tree grows upright to about 5 m tall and 3 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. Cherries require a cold winter to set fruit, hence they are less suited to regions where winters tend to be mild. “Dawson” is commonly used for fruit production and makes an attractive tree in its own right.

Cherry Dawson is currently unavailable, but we do have other other amazing species and varieties of Cherry available.
