$79.99
A new low-chill sweet cherry variety, requiring only 200-400 chill hours to fruit. This plant is grafted onto dwarfing rootstock making it excellent for pots and smaller gardens. It is a variety suitable for Perth’s warmer climate and can be grown in many suburbs. However, it is still not recommended for growing in coastal locations where the temperature doesn’t drop below 7 degrees very often, fewer chill hours are recorded and there are strong prevailing winds that can affect pollination.
Fruit Shape: Heart-shaped
Fruit Size: Large
Skin: Crimson red
Flesh: Firm, sweet with an excellent flavour
Pollination: Self-fertile. This is a suitable pollinator for both Royal Lee and Minnie Royal.
Plant in a well-drained and well-worked soil. Take care to plant the bud union above the soil level. Water in well and keep soil moist until tree is established.
