KLEMZIG, SA, Australia
I love the look of this tree, the leaves are a brilliant green and even if I can't get it to fruit down here i'll be pretty happy with this as an ornamental.

Wanted to try this tree based on positive comments left by other growers. Tree is still small but doing well. The fruit is small and soft and of medium taste. Get occasional dieback of small branches.Dropped most leaves at the end of winter 2017, but t...

I have kept one outdoors through a Canberra winter, with temperatures down to minus 6 Celsius, and no visible frost damage. I think it was more troubled by the heavy clay. Memo to Daleys, your catalogue classes its frost-resistance as low. I'd say Medium.

Cherry of Rio Grande
Great value little tree. Tough, reasonably fast, productive and ornamental. Needs decent watering until established. Fertilise with dynamic lifter, apply potash late Winter, mulch well. Delicious fruit. Makes good wine and fruit puddings.
