{"product_id":"cherry-napoleon","title":"Cherry Napoleon","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic heirloom variety also known as 'Royal Ann', Cherry Napoleon produces medium to large, round fruit with creamy white, juicy flesh. The skin is pale yellow with an orange to red blush, making the fruit as attractive as it is delicious. Maturing mid-season, these cherries are excellent eaten fresh, and equally suited to preserving, crystallising or cooking. The flavour is sweet, with a delicate tang, and less sugary than the darker-fleshed cherries more commonly grown today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis vigorous, upright-growing deciduous tree is both productive and ornamental, developing bountiful crops when cross-pollinated with varieties like ‘Stella’, ‘Van’, ‘Blackboy’, or ‘Williams Favourite’. Fruit forms on short second-year spurs, and the tree generally begins to bear fruit after a couple of years in the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCherries grow best in areas with cool Winters and warm Summers. Plant in the coolest part of the garden, away from strong winds and frost-prone hollows, as flowers and young fruit can be sensitive to Spring frosts. Choose a sunny, open position with well-drained soil—avoid waterlogged areas but maintain steady moisture during fruit development to encourage good fruit size and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFertilise at planting and again once new growth appears. Water well, especially in dry conditions. Prune at planting to encourage strong branching, and shape as needed in following seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Express Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53829026087096,"sku":"TRECHENAP","price":59.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0805\/2920\/files\/cherry-trechenap-napoleon.jpg?v=1785382637","url":"https:\/\/gardenexpress.com.au\/products\/cherry-napoleon","provider":"Garden Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
