Cherry - Minnie Royal

$54.00 ($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.

Strawberry - Rubygem

2 out of the 4 I purchased survived. I planted them in a strawberry tower I made and the 2 survivors have really taken off. The other 2 probably died as I think I buried the crown too much in the opening of my tower. Still really happy with the ones that made it. Crushed egg shells and blood and bone were additions to my soil mix.
