Description
The 'Early River' Cherry Tree is a self-fertile variety of sour cherry with early flowering and early harvest. It is an excellent pollinator and can be planted either alone or with other varieties. The fruits are quite large, with tender and sweet flesh. This cherry, or sour cherry, is not only a good table fruit but also a great choice for making delicious jams and tasty clafoutis.
Sour cherries have a sweet flavour like sweet cherries and have softer flesh. The 'Early River' cherries are round with a dark red skin, almost black when ripe, and have tender, even soft, flavourful and sweet flesh. They bloom early in the season and can be harvested around mid-June. The tree is perfectly hardy and remains of moderate size, with low branches that make harvesting easier. It will reach a height of 4 to 5 metres (13 to 16 feet) with a spread of around 3.5 metres (11 feet).
The 'Early River' cherry tree can withstand the harshest winters but may suffer in the hottest summers. It is a self-fertile variety, which is convenient for small gardens, but it will bear more fruit if planted near a sweet cherry variety such as 'Burlat', 'Reverchon', 'Marmotte' or 'Napoléon'. Pollinating bees don't care about fences, so a tree planted in a neighbouring garden will work just fine.
Having a cherry tree in your garden is truly a source of happiness in every season. In spring, the buzzing flowering is a delight for the eyes and ears. Then comes the pleasure of picking and enjoying the delicious fruits on-site and in the kitchen, loved by everyone, young and old. In autumn, sour cherry trees display beautiful vibrant colors.

Planting and care
Easy to grow, the 'Early Rivers' Cherry tree thrives in any type of soil, whether acidic or chalky, as long as it is moist and light. However, it is not suitable for very clay, shallow, and suffocating soils. Cherry trees should be planted in sheltered locations in regions with harsh winters, ensuring that the flowering is protected from spring frosts. Low-maintenance, it requires minimal pruning, with only light and occasional pruning of the tips at the end of fruiting every 3-4 years to maintain a balanced canopy.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
