{"product_id":"coral-champagne-cherry-tree","title":"Coral Champagne Potted Cherry Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eCoral Champagne is an early sweet cherry prized for large to very large fruit, firm flesh, and a rich flavor with lower acidity. The cherries color to a glossy, wine-red finish and develop satisfying sweetness while retaining a substantial bite. They are especially appealing for fresh eating, but their size and texture also make them useful for desserts, preserves, and freezing. Harvest generally begins early in the cherry season and can precede Bing in comparable climates, although spring weather and location affect the exact dates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant this potted, semi-dwarf tree in full sun where excess water drains away quickly. Sweet cherries benefit from good airflow around the canopy, consistent moisture as fruit sizes, and a layer of mulch kept clear of the trunk. Prune to maintain a balanced framework that admits light to fruiting wood. Because ripening cherries attract birds, plan to install netting or another exclusion method before the crop fully colors. Rain near maturity can contribute to cracking, so even irrigation and prompt picking are helpful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoral Champagne is not self-fruitful. It needs a compatible sweet cherry with overlapping bloom for cross-pollination. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bing-cherry-tree\"\u003eBing Cherry\u003c\/a\u003e is a suitable partner and should be planted within normal bee-flying distance.
