Sweet cherry fruit set in my greenhouse
Comments (10)Fruitnut, Being in Vista, California (N. San Diego county 6 miles from the ocean) makes it nearly impossible to grow cherries until two new cultivars were introduced for us here in coastal S. California - Minne Royal and Royal Lee, developed by Zaiger. They have very low chill hours and don't require the heat to sweeten, especially Royal Lee. They are pollinators for each other. I just purchased one of each, and will see how they do for me. I have spoken to several folks, all in CRFG and these two varieties are performing very well to outstanding, even for folks right at the beach. Minnie Royal ripens first, then Royal Lee. So, maybe these two cultivars will work for you? I would contact DWN and see. They can tell you for sure if this might be worth purchasing. Patty S.

Comments (2)I think that's a virus or some sort of pathogen that causes the weird growth -I've seen similar in other plants. I would suggest emailing your info & the picture to IFAS... Here is a link that might be useful: Plant Pathology @ UF IFAS...See MoreBarbados Cherry flowering
Comments (3)Good luck! Mine looks about the same, but haven't had any fruit set yet. Let us know if you get fruit set! I'm very interested in knowing what the criteria are. I'm wondering if mine aren't getting pollinated....See Moresun_worshiper
