This pollinator duo of cherry trees for a tasty harvest brings together the varieties 'Burlat Sweetheart' and 'Pigeon Heart', renowned for their excellent table cherries, particularly delicious. Planted in the same garden, within a radius of 20 to 30 meters (66 to 98 feet), these two cherry trees that bloom together between mid-March and mid-April pollinate each other. This ensures a plentiful harvest, which will spread from late May to the end of June.
This duo consists of:
- 1 x 'Burlat Sweetheart' Cherry Tree: an early and productive variety, providing large, sweet fruits with firm and crunchy flesh, excellent taste, and a shiny dark red skin. The tree has good resistance to late frosts. From mid-March, it is covered with small white flowers that appear before the foliage. The Burlat variety is harvested from late May. It is mainly enjoyed as is, "under the tree".
- x1 'Pigeon Heart' Cherry Tree: this old vigorous variety produces large heart-shaped fruits, sweet, with firm and crunchy yellow flesh, slightly acidic, and a shiny light red skin. They are harvested in June. The tree often exceeds 6 meters (20 feet) in height and spread.
The harvest may be more or less abundant depending on the year and present an alternate phenomenon, allowing the tree to replenish its reserves. Fruit production becomes optimal after 6 to 7 years. Enjoy the cherries just after picking or, if the harvest is abundant, make pies, clafoutis, jams, and preserves. Cherries are rich in vitamin C, minerals, and trace elements. Cherries should be picked when ripe as they do not ripen after harvest.
The Cherry Tree, in Latin Prunus avium, belongs to the rose family. It is a medium-sized tree, reaching 5 to 10 meters (16 to 33 feet) in height at maturity. Its rounded habit offers a beautiful shaded space, very pleasant during the summer. Its alternate and toothed leaves are shiny and dark green, then they take on a lovely reddish hue in autumn before falling.
A half-standard fruit tree consists of a branch attached to a trunk, which is only between 1.20 and 1.50 meters (4 and 5 feet) high. The branches will be a little shorter than a standard.

Botanical data
The Cherry tree grows in any type of soil, acidic or chalky. It prefers fresh, light soils and fears heavy and clayey soils. Choose a sunny exposure. In order to limit the risks of late frosts on the flowers, it is recommended to plant the Cherry tree in a sheltered location, facing west and protected from cold winds in regions that experience spring frosts. Planting is preferably done in autumn. If you plant several plants, space them 4 to 5 m (13 to 16ft) apart for goblet-shaped plants.
Loosen the soil deeply, remove stones and unwanted weeds. Add some sand to improve drainage. Dig a hole 4 to 5 times the volume of the root ball. Make sure to separate the bottom soil from the surface soil. Mix crushed horn or well-rotted compost or potting soil with the bottom soil and pour this mixture into the planting hole. Install a stake. Place the root ball, cover with the surface soil and firm it down well. Water generously (about 10 L). Attach the stake to the plant, crossing the tie in the shape of an 8, without touching the trunk.
During cultivation, watering is not necessary except in case of high temperatures. Mulch at the base to keep it cool in summer. Protect your harvest by installing, optionally, a bird net, aluminum foil or old CDs. In case of an aphid attack, spray water mixed with black soap.

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).
