Fruit trees are an excellent way to add colour to a garden, plus, there’s the added bonus of delicious produce without having to go to the supermarket. While larger apple, pear and plum trees may be best suited for expansive spaces, a ‘Van’ cherry tree is a much smaller plant, perfect for patios or more compact spaces.
At Yimbly, a e-commerce platform owned by the Daily Express parent company Reach PLC, a spring discount code (SPRING10) means shoppers can get this Marshalls Garden Patio Fan-trained Cherry Tree for £29.70. This beats the price of B&Q and the Marshalls Garden website.
The Van cherry tree is a popular variant, known to produce large, firm fruits that ripen in mid-summer. It is regarded for its sweet flavour and suitability for home gardens, where fruit can be picked and eaten alone, made into jam, pie, ice cream and more. It is important to note this cherry tree requires another cherry tree from group 3 nearby to set fruit.
There are other cherry tree options on the market, including this Summer Sun Patio Cherry Tree from Gardening Express. It’s on sale for £49.99 down from £69.99 and by mid to late July it can be heavy with red, glossy cherries.
An alternative is the Patio Cherry ‘Little Stella’ Tree, £29.99 down from £39.99 at Your Garden. Customers say they are ‘very impressed with the quality’ and they ‘can’t wait for fruits’.
While there are no reviews for the Van variant of cherry tree at Yimbly, over at Marshalls Garden there is an abundance. One person said it ‘looks great’ and another person said it has ‘good growth’.
Someone was left dissapointed as it arrived ‘smaller than expected’, however, a happy customer called it ‘faultless all round’ and a ‘healthy looking tree’.
The cherry tree is not only a practical option for the fruits, it also looks ‘amazing’ and adds a point of interest to a garden. Yimbly states that it is ideal for growing against walls, fences or other flat surfaces, and perfect for smaller gardens where space is limited.
