You are obviously in a marginal area otherwise you wouldn't be asking the question. Don't believe it's a high chill variety which puts it in the generic 650-750 range for peaches/nectarines.

don't know why i am coming up as Anonymous lol.anyway yeah maybe we might have just a nice tree lol.but chill hours still seem a bit odd to me because someone i talked to was growing stuff we were told not to and he was lucky to be 10-15 mins away from us so well see defantly buying mostly low chill stuff but.

Where are you anonymous? I am growing Anzac successfully in an area too warm for cherries but more than adequate for all stone fruit other than the cherry. I'd say Anzac is around 500 hrs. chill

Hi Anon. I think Chittaway will not grow Stella. There are some very low chill cherries just released called Minnie Royal and Royal Lee which probably will go OK. I would be very wary of someone who says he gets good crops of cherries in Wyong. water or not. I'm ready to believe it if I saw it but not otherwise. I grow practically everything except tropicals and v. high chill. I've had minor success with Stella.

Royal lee and Minnie royal haven't been officially released by Flemings. From experience in the USA they appear not to overlap flowering consistently to pollinate one another fully.

As I understand it the "Royals" have been released to growers and apparently some people other than growers have got hold of them.

wasn't there a thread here (last year), with folks from WA getting both 'Royal' plants? From memory, someone called Flemmings and said that if they could produce enough, they'd release it to the Eastern states.

I just picked up the Royal Lee / Minnie Royal from Dawsons on Tuesday, and I know a few people got them last year. One of the staff told me there was a problem with the tree production at the nursery and they lost a lot. Not sure why only WA is getting them, that seems to be the reverse of the usual trend!
