Growing KA's Keltie Cherry

Plant in full sun in well-drained soil and give your plant room to spread. Pinch early to encourage branching and you will be rewarded with a high volume of stems throughout the season. This is a tall, vigorous grower that benefits from staking at planting time. Harvest regularly to keep production strong. Performs well across a wide range of climates and is particularly valued by market growers for its consistent output.

Spacing: Space about 3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
