Anonymous says... Bsilver, perhaps your tree is still establishing itself - some fruit trees take several years to produce fruit. How is your tree growing? I thought that a cherry tree is unlikely to fruit in Sydney suburbs. But I'm not sure how low chill 'Pretty Gully' is really. This link suggests that some low chill cherries might exist: http://fruitsandvotes.com/?p=554 | About the Author 30th December 2007 9:13pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Graham says... I went to the Flemings website www.flemings.com.au) and they don't show the Minnie Royal or Royal Lee Cherry varieties. Has anyone found either, but preferably both, varieties from any nursery in Perth? | About the Author Graham1 Perth 1st February 2009 2:02am #UserID: 1940 Posts: 1 View All Graham1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Rev says... i think we need to get pretty gully, minnie royal and royal lee, let them pollinate each other. germinate seeds and plant 100 trees out in 3 rows, close space in a place that gets 350-400 h chill same with apples plant crosses of anna, gold dorset and tropic from these populations we might get further evolution after all the world was a much warmer place only a million years ago than it is today. 1 million years is nothing to a woody plant, there will be latent genes lurking in the populations | About the Author Rev north qld 22nd June 2010 2:16am #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Rev says... i used to live a few km from there you are right it doesnt get a long time of chilling Frosts normally hit in the first week of june. coldest driest month is August and by the second week of september it turns warm again for a few weeks, then we get a couple more weeks cold weather and then its Hot hot hot! what im thinking is if you X pollinate pretty gully with the royals youd get a number of seedlings with low chill genes mixed in and hybrid vigour with all sorts of other traits. Im more into Cheap seedlings and culling rather than coddling expensive grafted trees | About the Author Rev north qld 26th June 2010 3:41am #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jude says... The Pretty Gully cherry came from our orchard originally. We found it would fruit every two years, it was over 5 when it began to fruit however as it grew from a failed graft so was root stock (not sure which). As for chill requirements; it grew right beside an R2E2 mango. I am not sure what the chill hours are here but it is subtropical. | About the Author Jude3 Pretty Gully 5th November 2011 8:25pm #UserID: 6077 Posts: 1 View All Jude3's Edible Fruit Trees |
DanP says... I gave Pretty Gully to a friend who lives at Crows Nest north of Toowoomba and it is growing very vigorously. I don't think it has flowered as yet. I have also found a variety called Country Red which is propagated in by a Toowoomba nursery I think - supposed to be self fertile and suitable for warm areas. Probably worth a go. | About the Author DanP Kedron 21st February 2014 1:21pm #UserID: 9530 Posts: 10 View All DanP's Edible Fruit Trees |

rustynutz says... I have another area at the bottom of front block which is a lot colder in winter for longer. Have had it graded flat and need to fence it off and run the water line across to it. It should take 12 cherry trees and a few date palms to fill it. Well that is my plan neways :) Just wish i could get blue berries to grow without a drama, lol :( | About the Author rustynutz EIDSVOLD,4627,QLD 1st February 2016 1:27pm #UserID: 845 Posts: 64 View All rustynutz's Edible Fruit Trees |
