For the North and Scotland we recommend Stella, and Lapins Cherokee for the East, Colney for everywhere else, and good protection from squirrels! If you don't have a sunny site, then definitely go with a sour Morello. In wetter Western areas, Sunburst is also self fertile, and has the split-resistance you need. Stella is self fertile and easy going, but has a tendency to split if there is too much rain, so she is recommended for drier Eastern parts of the UK. Morello sour cherries, however, perform well enough in the shade and the colder Northern climate you can even train them against a North facing wall, as long as it is facing the open sky. In the North and Scotland, a sheltered, South facing wall with full sun is best for consistent results, where you can train your cherries as fans, supported by wires. They love a light soil enriched with plenty of compost, but are happy on clay on a hill or slope that does not waterlog in winter. Sweet cherries are all sun lovers, not recommend for shady sites ( damsons are the best choice for shady gardens). We grow sweet cherries that ripen early or late, and come in a range of colour from black through red to yellow and near-white, as well as the world-famous Morello sour cherry.
