| amanda, Kent and some other southern counties are traditionally known for cherries and other stone fruits in general. I was born there and the county is famous for them (and hops). You need a frost and some cold to develop good fruit. BBC food is a good source on information on cherries. Also, the RHS does explain their hardiness zones here: http://www.theseedsite.co.uk/hardinesss.html |

| Here is how the RHS describes their hardiness rating system. I assume you really want a dessert cheery for eating, rather than one that can live in a desert? Aren't all cherries hardy throughout the UK? We are talking about Prunus (probably Prunus avium), yes, small flowering trees? |
