Cherry - Minnie Royal

$79.00 ($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.

Elongated, sweet jujube fruit, best eaten fresh. Flavour resembles apple with hints of date. Ripens early mid season. Cross-pollinate with another variety for larger harvests.

WARRNAMBOOL, VIC

Persimmon - Nightingale

It has only just got some leaf buds on it now, a couple of months after planting in this climate. I wanted a deciduous fruit tree. I have seen one of these locally and it looked beautiful laden with the golden orange fruit and no leaves.

tom-paul jagg ★★★★★ 4y ago

Atherton, Queensland, Australia

Persimmon - Nightingale (A)

Nightingale Persimmons and Yellow Excel Figs are thee best fruit in the world. The flavour is not of this Planet. NEED I SAY ANYMORE.

BJ11 ★★★★ 8y ago

CARLISLE, WA, Australia

Planted location #37 (clay loam). Growing very strongly. Required some staking as trunk was not strong enough to support canopy. Pruning and staking has rectified this.

Adrian Van Leest 9y ago

Campbell, ACT, Australia

Persimmon - Nightingale (A)

Peel a hard but nearly ripe Nightingale persimmon and dry it over an air vent for around ten days - truly dios pyros, an experience to die for!

gardengirl ★★★ 13y ago

Illawarra, NSW

I was a bit concerned as this is by far the most expensive tree I bought and my favourite fruit- no signs of life for 2 months. Now the tiniest green bud tips have appeared. Watered very infrequently while dormant.

Persimmon - Nightingale (A)

Kids love fruit leathers made in a food dryer, made out of pureed persimmon mixed with yoghurt and they also love persimmon blended into a pancake mixture.

Reville Saw 19y ago

Tabulam, NSW, Australia

Persimmon - Nightingale (A)

The astringent avraieties live up to the name "Dios pyros" (as above) but the NA (non astringent) are not nearly as good. Nightingale is excellent.Also try Mexican persimmon (Diospyros dignya) and the german medlar which also reward the same patience
