A new very large fruited late Cherry raised by John Innes, Summer Sunshine represents a distinct improvement over other varieties of this Class. The large dark red-black fruits have a delicious sweet flavour and are normally ready for picking in the 2nd or 3rd week of July. In official trials the yield was awarded marks of 8 out of 10 with fruit size described as ‘very large’. It is reliably self pollinating providing a good crop when planted on its own and has also shown resistance to bacterial canker. We have also been impressed by the hardiness of the tree and the uniform size and quality of the fruits. Summer Sunshine is quite compact in growth, showing a size reduction of 20 percent over older varieties. An excellent new variety, named and introduced by Chris Bowers and Sons.







We have in place very rigorous standards for the health,
providence and uniformity of all our fruiting plants & trees. Our Nursery and the stock we grow is
inspected and passported for health regularly by DEFRA experts [formerly the Ministry of Agriculture]
and we have in place our own stringent controls and inspection programmes to ensure our fruiting
bushes and trees are the best, most disease free stocks available and truly beyond compare.
We always propagate from certified stock where this exists and have the highest standards regarding providence
and grading. If only the very best will do – as it should – then you can rely on a Chris Bowers fruiting
plant to give the most exemplary results available. We firmly believe that only the very healthiest
stock can and does produce vastly superior results – and it shows.
