Spring Garden Update: Cherry Trees
These trees are really waking up now, leaves coming out and forming small branches. The first one we look at is a Minnie Royal Cherry Tree. Its considered a low chill hour tree only needing a fraction of chill hours as the others I have on my property. It also flowers much earlier than the other Cherries. They are grown in Southern California and other southern areas, and its part of a different pollination group which means it needs a very specific Cherry cultivar to make fruit. So its hard to say if I will get fruit from this tree, but at least it should be an early flowering tree for the Bees to make use of it.
Its been in the ground for about four months now, and seems something has been nibbling on the leaves. The second tree we look at is a Lapins Cherry tree, it needs more of the standard amount of hours of chill time under 45F. Around 400-900 for this cultivar, the Minnie Royal only needs 200-300 chill hours below 45F to make fruit. As long as it gets pollinated.
The Lapins Cherry Trees produced flowers earlier this year but I do not think they got pollinated as it was only one tree that did that. They wilted away as I think the tree was in shock from just being planted.
The forth Cherry tree I own is a Black Tartarian cherry tree, it produces dark sweet cherries and should pollinate the Lapins and vice versa. Its shooting off some stems and hopefully will flower in a year or two.
Looking forward to when they produce flowers in mass, and to see how well it lines up with my Bees emerging in late February. Many trees do not produce flowers until April so having some trees around early on in the season like my Peach tree will give the Bees a source for nectar and pollen to build homes. And pretty sure the Two Lapins and the one Black Tartarian should produce fruit, may be a few years away but I think I can be patient and wait for them to be ready to flower and produce fruit.

Being a young guy, with some time and luck you will have some beautiful fruitful trees to enjoy..😊
I hope to get them in a few years. I think a Nut tree is something I might have to wait a life time for.. haha
Yeah I wish I had started nut trees long ago...

As I am still in the lockdown situation for about more than 3 months so I decided to to cultivate some vegetables around my yard and rooftop. Already I have planted some and prepared use soil. I have planted some wood based tree on the bank of our pond. As you are expert in this field I may ask you something about several issues related to gardening and planting trees like cultivating vegetables if you permit me. your planting activities are are very much scientific looking. Please reply. Thanks in advance
Oh that's great you are starting plants on your roof top. My roof is too slanted to do that but if I could I would.
Thanks alot yeah ask me whatever questions you have about gardening and I'll do my best to answer it.
Thank you very much for your support. As you have good experiences I should get proper information and guidance from you hopefully. I shall knock you later
Good luck with those trees. I just picked the last fruits of our cheery tree yesterday, but now I have already started the work on the work cloning my tree, so I am currently hoping that a branch will grow roots in this box I have attached to it, so that I can get one more tree in a couple of years producing fantastic sweet cherries :)
Thanks alot, they seem real tough so I think they will do well. Oh wow that sounds like an interesting project. Ive wrapped plant stems in wet towers and placed in ziplock bags and it will grow sometimes. If you make a post about it mention me so I see it in my notifications please.
I will do that :)
