DESCRIPTION

Summit - this variety grows rather vigorously, and produces a generous amount of fruit regularly. The fruits are very large, and are a wide heart shape. The skin is bright red, and when fully ripe dark red and shiny. The flesh is crunchy and juicy, with a sweet wine taste. Described by connoisseurs as very tasty.

ADVICES

The tree is best planted in a sunny, slightly airy position. It prefers a sandy/clay soil which is moderately moist, and fertile. The optimum pH is in the range of 6.5-7.0.

To stimulate future growth the tree should be pruned in the first year immediately after planting. Formative pruning should be executed on the main stem, 20 cm above where the planned future branches will grow. The other branches should also be cut, reducing their length by one third. The best time to prune the cherry tree is annually in the spring. This variety is disease resistant. Summit pollination requires the presence of other varieties flowering at the same time. Best results can be achieved by planting with varieties Van, Lapins, Bing, Hedelfińska.
