Correy says... Hi Anon. Isn't this the forum topic where you mention Gisela? Minature (Gisela) I can't grow the cool high chill cherries in Brisbane except for the Acerola Cherry Tree which I am growing in a pot to bonsai it. Cherries are one of my favourites so one day I will have to either go and live in a colder climate or get myself some industrial fridges to get the 700+ chill hours they require. I also heard through the "cherry vine" that there is a chemical only available to orchardists that allow cherries to break bud without getting the chill hours. P.S I sent a copy of the Gisela forum topic to Greg. | About the Author Correy Woolloongabba, QLD 1st April 2008 9:41pm #UserID: 3 Posts: 493 View All Correy's Edible Fruit Trees |
aNON says... Flemings sell the Royal Lee and Minnie Lee varieties, they only need 400 hours chilling. No idea what Brissy gets. You can check out the photos on their web site under the commercial section or on www.davewilson.com. He uses the terms "So-Cal" ready. Most of the stone fruit that grows sub tropical is listed on his website as so-cal proofed. Ps So cal is Southern California. | About the Author aNON 2nd April 2008 12:48pm #UserID: 700 Posts: 194 View All aNON's Edible Fruit Trees |

Correy says... Hi anon we don't get 400 chill hours in brisbane. Thanks for the heads up on the chemical but I think I will stick to my subtropical cherries for now. | About the Author Correy Woolloongabba, QLD 3rd April 2008 1:04pm #UserID: 3 Posts: 493 View All Correy's Edible Fruit Trees |

Happypear says... Clermont is in Central Queensland, abour 3 1/2 hours west of Mackay. Thanks for your advise. Any idea about if planting 2 of similar type e.g peach and nectarine or raspberry and loganberry bush in the same hole when first plant them to ground. or would planting these in pots ) one by one has good chance of success at all. I have limited space. | About the Author Happypear Clermont 30th August 2008 10:21pm #UserID: 1254 Posts: 2 View All Happypear's Edible Fruit Trees |

Shaun says... THE POST BELOW ARE FROM AN EARLIER THREAD: ________________________________________ aNON says... Graham Fleming told me that the "cherree" varieties will not be available this winter due to crop failure. I'm plannting Simone, Stella, Lapins and Sunburst on dwarfing rootstock this year. Bunnings Belmont have 2 dwarf lapins in stock, don't grab the Lewis seedling's thy are not self fertile. I ma prepared to use the cyanide sprays to invoke dormancy if need be. About the Author aNON 5th May 2008 2:43pm #UserID: 700 ======================================== Shaun says... hi aNON, Did you graft the cherry onto dwarf stocks yourself? or you got them already grafted? How do you know if the stocks used are dwarfing stocks? I wouldn't mind learning how to graft trees if someone would teach me. About the Author Shaun WA/Perth 5th May 2008 7:14pm #UserID: 0 ======================================== aNON says... You can see these 2 were on dwarfing stocks from the internodal length. I can teach but I am not very good. About the Author aNON 7th May 2008 11:37am #UserID: 700 ======================================== Shaun says... Hi aNON, I didn't realised that you could tell if a graft is made onto dwarfing stocks from internodal lengths ..... I believe you are not far from where I live. So, if there is some way I could get in touch with you, I'll make contact with you either via email or SMS. Otherwise, you could forward your email address to me via Correy. About the Author Shaun WA/Perth 7th May 2008 11:47pm #UserID: 730 ________________________________________ TODAY'S POST: "I bought 1 of the Lapin Cherry from Bunnings. It was doing well until we got the very hot and dry spell just around Christmas-New Year last year...... the leaves of the Cherry tree all got burnt & dried up ...... it stayed leafless all summer, autumn and winter ...... this Spring (2nd week of Oct'09), the Cherry tree put out some new leaf-shoots, and was doing OK for the past 3 weeks ....... but the sudden 31 degrees on Monday killed all the new leaf-shoots ..... they are now all dried and falling off the stems...... (1)will the Cherry tree recover? (2)am I going to get another year of leafless Cherry tree ? (3)the Lapin Cherry is planted in a pot .... should I move it to a shady location?" | About the Author WA / Perth 5th November 2009 7:17pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

BenW says... Looks like I've derailed this one ;) My point is that Masters neither knows nor cares what will grow where. Bunnings isn't much better, with tomato and capsicum seedlings in Melbourne, a couple of months early (unless you are growing them on under shelter of course). Knowledgeable gardeners can take advantage, however overall they do gardening a disservice as they will usually put newbies off with a few fairly predictable failures. | About the Author BenW Kinglake West,3757,VIC 23rd August 2014 10:25am #UserID: 5390 Posts: 144 View All BenW's Edible Fruit Trees |
