Sir Don Cherry - low chill?

    2 responses

VF starts with ...
Anyone growing it or know much about it? I've seen one at a local nursery but they couldn't say anything apart from the label. From Google not much information available, probably as it's a relatively new variety, and from what I can gather is still under trial. I did find some good positives; self-pollinating, med-large fruit, largely resistant to rain cracking, good taste, very productive (even cropping in low-chill areas). Can I believe what I read?

The general info from SARDI omits chill info. Given it was bred in the Adelaide hills I would say that it would sit more in the "medium" chill category.
But you never know until you have trialled one!

Thanks Chris. Yeah,I did read the SARDI info and also found stuff from a Cherry symposium held in Chile 2009, where it mentioned the fruiting in low-chill areas. No specifics though, could still be almost borderline medium chill. A trial would be good, but at $90 is a bit pricey. (To be fair, the tree is an advanced size.) I guess I'll have to dig a bit harder for info.
