Hi Anon. Isn't this the forum topic where you mention Gisela?
Minature (Gisela)
I can't grow the cool high chill cherries in Brisbane except for the Acerola Cherry Tree which I am growing in a pot to bonsai it. Cherries are one of my favourites so one day I will have to either go and live in a colder climate or get myself some industrial fridges to get the 700+ chill hours they require. I also heard through the "cherry vine" that there is a chemical only available to orchardists that allow cherries to break bud without getting the chill hours.
P.S I sent a copy of the Gisela forum topic to Greg.

Flemings sell the Royal Lee and Minnie Lee varieties, they only need 400 hours chilling. No idea what Brissy gets.
You can check out the photos on their web site under the commercial section or on www.davewilson.com.
He uses the terms "So-Cal" ready.
Most of the stone fruit that grows sub tropical is listed on his website as so-cal proofed.
Ps So cal is Southern California.

Hi anon we don't get 400 chill hours in brisbane.
Thanks for the heads up on the chemical but I think I will stick to my subtropical cherries for now.

Hello,I am looking into planting a dwart sweet firm texture cherries that resist frost, which type is best and is it ok to plant in medium size pot then repot later or straight into 1/2 wine barrel. where can you get them barrel actually if not what else is durable to use? Any advise is appreciated.

Clermont is in Central Queensland, abour 3 1/2 hours west of Mackay. Thanks for your advise. Any idea about if planting 2 of similar type e.g peach and nectarine or raspberry and loganberry bush in the same hole when first plant them to ground. or would planting these in pots )
one by one has good chance of success at all. I have limited space.

Graham Fleming told me that the "cherree" varieties will not be available this winter due to crop failure.
I'm plannting Simone, Stella, Lapins and Sunburst on dwarfing rootstock this year.
Bunnings Belmont have 2 dwarf lapins in stock, don't grab the Lewis seedling's thy are not self fertile.
I ma prepared to use the cyanide sprays
to invoke dormancy if need be. About the Author

hi aNON,
Did you graft the cherry onto dwarf stocks yourself? or you got them already grafted?
How do you know if the stocks used are dwarfing stocks?
I wouldn't mind learning how to graft trees if someone would teach me. About the Author

You can see these 2 were on dwarfing stocks from the internodal length.
I can teach but I am not very good. About the Author

Hi aNON,
I didn't realised that you could tell if a graft is made onto dwarfing stocks from internodal lengths .....
I believe you are not far from where I live.
So, if there is some way I could get in touch with you, I'll make contact with you either via email or SMS.
Otherwise, you could forward your email address to me via Correy. About the Author

"I bought 1 of the Lapin Cherry from Bunnings.
It was doing well until we got the very hot and dry spell just around Christmas-New Year last year......
the leaves of the Cherry tree all got burnt & dried up ......
it stayed leafless all summer, autumn and winter ......
this Spring (2nd week of Oct'09), the Cherry tree put out some new leaf-shoots, and was doing OK for the past 3 weeks .......
but the sudden 31 degrees on Monday killed all the new leaf-shoots .....
they are now all dried and falling off the stems......
(1)will the Cherry tree recover?
(2)am I going to get another year of leafless Cherry tree ?
(3)the Lapin Cherry is planted in a pot .... should I move it to a shady location?"
