This is the second attempt at growing this tree but so far it’s looking great. I can’t comment on any fruit yet but it looks healthy and happy to me.

Brand: Roots Plants
Have your (cherry) cake and eat it, too! 'Sunburst' is a sweet, rich black cherry that's not just for cooking but also eating fresh. In fact, it was the original sweet black cherry. The OG, if you will.
A mid-season variety, your cherries will be ripe and ready to pick around the second or third week of July. Self-fertile, 'Sunburst' will produce good crops all by itself without pollination by another tree.
Ultra reliable, 'Sunburst' won't let you down, run around or des(s)ert you, instead producing impressive yields year on year. It also boasts good disease resistance and laughs in the face of pests.
Thanks to its Colt rootstock, this tree can be grown in a pot and has a max height and width of 4m. Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average garden.
Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
Our mature trees are grown in Air-Pots®, the only type of pot to completely eliminate root circling. A unique design stimulates air pruning for a mass of healthy fibrous roots, which results in a healthy tree that will establish quickly in your garden. With each Air-Pot® made to last up to 20 years, we reuse them on the nursery and wrap your mature tree in hessian for delivery - but if you’d rather keep your tree potted, simply add an Air-Pot® to your basket along with your tree.

I bought a cherry fruit & blossom tree from them at a really good price. The young bare root tree arrived within a few days, carefully wrapped and in healthy condition. I have planted it out. It has only been a week and it is sprouting green shoots right on schedule. Taking good care of it and waiting, finger crossed, for the first leaves to appear in the coming months. Hoping to see beautiful cherry blossoms for pollinators next spring. I will remove the flowers in late spring, as advised for the first year, to allow the plant to use the fruiting energy to establish its root system and branch structure which will benefit the tree in the long run.
