Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Brant Excellent purchase. First of all select a sunny spot of at least minimum of six hours for your royal cherries. Avoid waterlogged soil. You can amend slow draining soil by applying clay breaker (gypsum) to improve drainage by adding gypsum at the bottom of the planting hole and watering it in and letting the water drain before planting. Mold a small mound at the bottom of the mounting hole so you can nicely spread the roots of the tree if it is bare rooted. If its already in a container just keep the level of the surrounding soil to your plants level from the pot, that is the line from the trunk. Create a moat around the tree to capture any run-off when watering. Hammer 3 robust stakes around your plant and tie it with a non-abrasive straps like old stockings or similar materials. During winter prudently prune your double grafted tree. Try to balance it and aim for a vase shape, open at the center. As the two headed tree grows always check for equality. If one of them is more vigorous just prune it harder than the slower sibling. Fertilize with composted chook manure during spring spreading it under the mulch and watering it well afterwards. Repeat the application during early summer. Happy gardening :-) | About the Author Fruitylicious1 TAMWORTH,2340,NSW 8th April 2018 8:27pm #UserID: 16885 Posts: 709 View All Fruitylicious1's Edible Fruit Trees |

MyrtleTurtle says... It is spelled 'Minnie.' Anyway, not sure why Flemings are wasting low-chill cherry cultivars by sending them to the coldest part of the country, where any of the more proven cherries will fruit. MR-RL are needed by growers in warm areas. But good luck to you it should grow well. Full sun is optimal. If your planned spot of prone to waterlogging, build up mound and plant on that so that rootball avoids that problem. | About the Author MyrtleTurtle PROSPECT,2148,NSW 8th April 2018 10:25pm #UserID: 6913 Posts: 46 View All MyrtleTurtle's Edible Fruit Trees |
