My huge gorgeous Mulberry tree! :woohoonaner:

I think the trunk it just so beautiful on it!

It really is a battle fighting the birds for the ripe berries, they are so sweet and tasty though - and so good for you!!!!

Asian Pear grafted last year

Re: What's fruiting in your garden

Tony, how big was your Barbados cherry when it first started fruiting? Where'd you get it from. I have two small ones I just potted up into 5 gallon pots.

Re: What's fruiting in your garden

That's Awesome Tony! I have a big Black Tartan from HD that started to fruit but then they all dropped off.

Good idea for keeping out rolly pollies

Re: What's fruiting in your garden

Black Tartarian is a real cherry, Prunus avium. Barbados Cherry is Malpighia glabra, not a real cherry.

Re: What's fruiting in your garden

Wow! I Didn't know they had 'not real' cherries!
I had a Stella Cherry I found at Costco but it didn't make it.I was so sad to lose that one. I just dug it up yesterday and put a Williams in it's place for now, till I find another tree to put there in the spring.
:)

Re: What's fruiting in your garden

I guess it's called Barbados cherry because the fruit looks like a cherry.
I also lost a Stella this spring. I made the tree, (I grafted it) about 30 years ago, with budwood that I got from the Canadian Agricultural Experimental Station, in Summerland, B. C. After all these years, it uprooted in a storm.
An interesting story about Stella. They are brigtht red, when ripe, not purple. When we got our first crop, while waiting for them to turn dark, they rotted.

Re: What's fruiting in your garden

aww man! Well if I ever find another Stella I'll remember that!

Re: What's fruiting in your garden

Tony, thanks for the info on Barbados cherry. I got one from Wellsprings and one from Logee's. Both are growing well. Maybe I'll get fruit next year.

sdpanther, from what I understand, there are only two true cherry cultivars that might fruit reliably in the warm SD climate: Royal Lee and Minnie Royal -- and you have to have them both because they are not self fertile. They are low-chill varieties. The rest of the real cherries need more cold than you will get if you are anywhere near the coast. You might want to try a "fake" cherry, like Barbados cherry or Surinam cherry (Pitanga).
