Cherry 2 way - Minnie Royal - Royal Lee

$99.00 ($99.00-$120.00 choose a size)

This 2 Way Cherry has been discontinued by Flemings Nurseries. If you have one and you are experiencing difficulty with pollination, pair with a Royal Crimson to bridge the flowering periods, plant flowering winter herbs and veggies to attract bees and perhaps try hand pollination. The older the tree gets the more cross over in flowering time in warmer areas you may see. For a fantastic 2 Way low chill cherry try the Cherry - 2 way Minnie Royal/Royal CrimsonCherry trees with 2 varieties grafted onto the same plant are ideal for limited space and both varieties can cross pollinate each other. Low chill cherries are possible to grow in the cooler areas of the subtropics in warmer climates with only 400 chill hours, and sometimes as low as 200 hours has been reported. According to Tom Spellman from Dave Wilsons Nursery in California these 2 cherry selections have proven to be winners. "Southwestern fruit gardeners can finally celebrate the introductions of two new very-low-chill sweet cherries. Minnie Royal and its companion Royal Lee have proven themselves to be low chill adaptable. In fact, they may not require any chill at all. Minnie Royal is a medium to large size red cherry with a firm texture and superior flavour. Fruit begins to ripen in early November and holds well on the tree into December. The tree is very productive and sets heavy crops in southern California. We estimate the chill requirement at 200 to 300 hours, but some have produced with less than 100 hours. A Zaiger introduction."
