Flemings sell the "trixie" cherries at 2m tall, none for sale this year for soem reason.

My suggestion that Daleys buy some Gisela 5 dwarf cherry rootstocks was mysteriously deleted form the forum.

Hi Anon. Isn't this the forum topic where you mention Gisela?

Minature (Gisela)

I can't grow the cool high chill cherries in Brisbane except for the Acerola Cherry Tree which I am growing in a pot to bonsai it. Cherries are one of my favourites so one day I will have to either go and live in a colder climate or get myself some industrial fridges to get the 700+ chill hours they require. I also heard through the "cherry vine" that there is a chemical only available to orchardists that allow cherries to break bud without getting the chill hours.

P.S I sent a copy of the Gisela forum topic to Greg.

Flemings sell the Royal Lee and Minnie Lee varieties, they only need 400 hours chilling. No idea what Brissy gets.

You can check out the photos on their web site under the commercial section or on www.davewilson.com.
He uses the terms "So-Cal" ready.

Most of the stone fruit that grows sub tropical is listed on his website as so-cal proofed.

Ps So cal is Southern California.

Correy, the chemicals to "increase" chilling hours are thiocyanate compounds (yes, they are dangerous) and some variety of mineral oils. As far as I know they can be bought by anyone.

Hi anon we don't get 400 chill hours in brisbane.

Thanks for the heads up on the chemical but I think I will stick to my subtropical cherries for now.

Dwarf cherrys will be available everywhere in adelaide from mid june when the next crop of stones are relaesed for this coming year. They will grow happily in a half wine barrel and supply good fruit in most parts of SA.

Flemings will have the dwarf black and white trixzee cherries available as bare rooted in winter, get your local nursery to order them for you.

Hi Laura,
Are these Trixzee Cherries High Chill or Low Chill varieties?

I saw Flemings' dwarf cherries at Waldecks, last year. I think that they were medium chill though, rather than low chill?

What is the scope of Plant Tissue culture Lab in Australia to propagate Dwarf rootstock of Pome fruits.
Is there any commercial lab producing at the moment?

Clermont is in Central Queensland, abour 3 1/2 hours west of Mackay. Thanks for your advise. Any idea about if planting 2 of similar type e.g peach and nectarine or raspberry and loganberry bush in the same hole when first plant them to ground. or would planting these in pots )
one by one has good chance of success at all. I have limited space.
