Dream Cream
A new release from Wild Boar Farms. Semi-determinate plants of around 90cm, early-mid season. Plants do well in a pot, outside, or in the ground, and are also happy in a greenhouse or polytunnel, although you may wish to save that space for taller plants. They pump out these gorgeous and unusually shaped, 2" long cherries. They taste great, too, having been developed from Sweet Cream: sweet, a little tangy, plenty of flavour. The flesh is pleasing, even the very ripe ones are still firm to bite, and they show no signs of cracking. I suspect that these would keep well on the counter, if you could stop yourself eating them all, direct from the bush,
Compact Indeterminate, early ripening, regular wispy leaf.
Indeterminate plants are vigorous plants with a vining tendency. They set their fruits at intervals along their stems, and will readily grow side shoots and suckers (shoots from ground level). They need good, strong support, and it is advisable to remove the majority of the side shoots and suckers unless you have plenty of space and fertile soil to allow them to grow to their full potential. See the guide on pruning indeterminates in the resources section of the website for tips.
Sow Jan-April indoors
10-15 open-pollinated seeds
