Very impressed with the cherry trees recieved in perfect condition.planted as per instructions.I would like advice, as now I have got them I am told I will never have cherries as the birds always get there first.As the trees max height is 8ft is there some way I can protect them and when is it the beast time to offer this protection. I would be grateful for your advice.

Here on the nursery we have found hanging old cd's in the tree the most effective method of control; these must be in place from approximately mid March until after the fruit has been harvested.

Supplied as a containerised vine grafted on S04 rootstock approximately 2 feet (60 cm) tall including pot.
Available from APPROXIMATELY early JuneA grape variety that has become extremely popular in UK vineyards, thanks to a combination of the earliness of the fruits' ripening and the fact that fruit left on the vines in years when we have an 'Indian Summer' becomes incredibly sweet.
Due to the earliness of fruit ripening this is an excellent choice of grape for growing outside in more northern gardens. The fruits themselves are medium-sized and golden green in colour, making them also a very attractive table grape. Being high in sugar, this is also an excellent variety for juicing.
