Prunus cerasus Bigarreau Hedelfingen - Tart Cherry Tree
Prunus cerasus Bigarreau Coeur de Pigeon - Tart Cherry Tree
This Alternate Pollinator Duo of Half-Standard Cherry Trees for Large Spaces brings together two excellent varieties of 'Bigarreau Hedelfingen' and 'Pigeon Heart'Â Planted in the same garden, within a radius of 20 to 30 m (66 to 98ft), these fruit trees that bloom together in April pollinate each other, ensuring a abundant and delicious harvest in June and July. These cherry trees, with their significant growth, are best suited for a spacious garden. Fruit trees are preferably planted in autumn, in deep, loose and fertile soil.
This duo consists of:
- x1 'Hedelfingen Bigarreau' Cherry: a highly productive variety, rather late, providing slightly conical fruits with firm and juicy red flesh, with a shiny dark red skin. These cherries resist bursting well. Their red flesh is firm and juicy. Harvest from late June to the end of July. The tree reaches about 6 m (20ft) in all directions.
- x1 'Pigeon Heart Bigarreau' Cherry: this vigorous variety produces large heart-shaped fruits, sweet, with firm and crunchy yellow flesh, slightly acidic, and with a shiny light red skin. Harvest in June. The tree often exceeds 6 m (20ft) in height and spread.
Labeled separately.
These cherry trees, in Latin Prunus avium, belong to the rose family. It is a medium-sized tree, reaching 5 to 10 m (16 to 33ft) in height in adulthood. Its rounded habit offers a beautiful shaded space, very pleasant during the summer. Its alternate and dentate leaves are shiny and dark green, then they take a beautiful reddish hue in autumn before falling. Cherries are rich in vitamin C, minerals, and trace elements. Enjoy them just after picking or, if the harvest is abundant, use them to make pies, clafoutis, jams, and preserves.
Very hardy in most regions of central Europe, the Cherry Tree withstands winter cold more easily than summer heat. The flowers can be damaged during spring frosts, so it is recommended to plant cherry trees in sheltered positions, facing west and protected from cold winds in regions that experience fairly significant late frosts.
A half-standard fruit tree is composed of a branch attached to a trunk, which measures only between 1.20 and 1.50 m (4 and 5ft) in height. The branches are also slightly shorter than a standard tree.

Botanical data
The cherry tree grows in all types of soil, acidic or chalky. It appreciates fresh, light soils and fears heavy and clayey soils. Choose a sunny exposure. In order to limit the risks of late frost on the flowers, it is recommended to plant the Cherry tree in a sheltered position, facing west and protected from cold winds in regions that experience spring frosts. Planting is preferably done in autumn. If you plant several trees, space them 4 to 5 meters (13 to 16 feet) 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 tamp down well. Water generously (about 10L). Tie 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 around the base to keep it cool in summer. Protect your harvest by installing, as desired, a bird net, aluminum foil or old CDs. In case of 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).
