Cherry tree pollinator pair for a bountiful harvest

This pollinator duo of cherry trees for a bountiful harvest brings together the varieties of cherry trees Bigarreau Reverchon and Bigarreau Burlat, renowned for their productivity and excellent table cherries. Planted in the same garden, within a radius of 20 to 30 metres (66 to 98 feet), they mutually pollinate each other, ensuring a bountiful harvest that starts from the end of May and continues throughout the month of June.

This duo consists of:

- 1 x Bigarreau 'Reverchon' Cherry Tree: a vigorous variety, producing large, sweet fruits with firm, tasty, and crunchy pink flesh, with a red-purple skin streaked with brown-red. These cherries are resistant to splitting. Flowering starts in early April, and the harvest begins from mid-June and continues until early July, depending on the regions.

- 1 x Bigarreau 'Burlat' Cherry Tree: an early and productive variety, producing large, sweet fruits with firm and crunchy flesh of excellent taste, with a shiny dark red skin. The tree is resistant to late frosts. From mid-March, it is covered with small white flowers that appear before the foliage. The harvest starts from the end of May.

The Bigarreau Cherry Tree belongs to the Rosaceae family. It is a deciduous tree of medium size, reaching 5 to 10 meters (16 to 33 feet) in height at maturity. Hardy, it can withstand temperatures down to -20°C, while the flowers are vulnerable to spring frosts and are damaged at -2°C. Its rounded habit provides a beautiful shaded space, very pleasant during the summer. Its alternate, toothed leaves are shiny and dark green, then take on a lovely reddish hue in autumn before falling. Adapted to all regions of France, the Cherry Tree can be planted on a short grass meadow, at the back of a bed, or within an orchard. Cherries are rich in vitamin C, minerals, and trace elements. Enjoy them just after picking or, if the harvest is abundant, use them to make pies, clafoutis, jams, and preserves.

Very hardy in most regions of France, the Cherry Tree tolerates winter cold more easily than summer heat. The flowers can be damaged by spring frosts, so it is recommended to plant cherry trees in a sheltered position, facing west and protected from cold winds in regions that experience fairly significant late frosts.

A goblet-trained fruit tree does not have a central leader (vertical main stem), but has branches radiating from its trunk. This particular shape allows for good penetration of sunlight and air into the branches, which promotes the development and ripening of fruits while limiting the development of diseases.
