Sweet, juicy cherries with flavour comparable to the popular ‘Stella’ variety
-
100% self-fertile, meaning only one plant is needed to produce fruit

-
Recognized as an RHS ‘Plant for Pollinators’, supporting bees and beneficial insects
Product Description
Cherry ‘Cherry Boop®’ represents a truly revolutionary way to grow cherries in the garden. Developed through careful breeding, this variety grows as a compact bush rather than a traditional cherry tree, producing multiple fruiting stems from the base. The result is a neat, manageable plant that stays lower and makes fruit picking far easier.
In spring, the plant produces clouds of iconic white cherry blossom, creating a beautiful ornamental display while attracting bees and pollinating insects. As the season progresses, these flowers develop into sweet red cherries with a flavour that rivals leading varieties such as ‘Stella’.
Its naturally compact growth makes it perfect for smaller gardens, kitchen gardens, or fruit-growing beginners. The lower height also makes protecting fruit from birds much easier. With regular pruning each summer, the plant can be kept neat, productive, and compact, while still producing generous harvests.
