Cherry - Minnie Royal

$69.00 ($54.00-$89.00 choose a size)

Minnie Royal cherry is a low chill producer of fruit with stand out flavour. It is a medium to large sized, red cherry with a firm texture. The tree is very productive and has been known to set heavy crops in southern California. Chill hours can be as low as 200 hours and does depend on micro climate. Fruiting can be as early as November. Minnie Royal requires a pollinator which has traditionally been the older Royal Lee variety but flowering times of these 2 can be mismatched in warmer areas and an intermediary is helpful. The newer, self pollinating Royal Crimson blooming can bridge between these two. Bees are the main pollinating insects, so plant flowering herbs to attract them to your garden. Other stonefruit may also provide pollination services. Plant within 5m of each other for best results. Hand pollination could be helpful in years where flowering times are mismatched.

Cherry - Royal Rainier

Having lived in Seattle, Washington for 11 years, I got used to my yearly fix of Rainier cherries. They have a more subtle and delicious flavour than other cherries, and the blush colour is amazing in a fruit bowl or as a dessert. I'm taking a chance in our dry and windy climate on growing these, and had to prepare the ground well to ensure adequate drainage. They have sprouted good foliage after being received as root stock, and survived an onslaught of red-shouldered beetles.
