Sand cherry for trade/sale (forum)

starling starts with ...
I have one bare rooted sand cherry (prunus besseyi) for sale (no longer for trade, as advertised by the heading, apologies). This plant has come directly from the US, and is a cultivated variety selected for eating quality. This plant is not available in Australian nurseries.

Will not post prior to payment. Alternatively I am happy to do cash on pickup. No need to reply to me here, my email is under my bio.

thanks
S

Hi Starling

I think the sand cherry would grow well in my dry sandy soil. I have Treacle Fruits and Zabala seedlings to swap if interested but you would need to let me know where you are located as they are not really tropical and need some chill.

Zabalas and Lapagerias are currently being grown as far north as the central coast of NSW but that's about the limit for them.

Yellow Sand Cherry Little Sun

I read that Prunus besseyi needs to be pollinated by a second plant to produce fruit. How about the named selections of Sand Cherries like Mando, Manmoor and Brooks - do they all need pollinators?

The other one I would really like to grow is the yellow variety from Ukraine in the picture. It's called Prunus besseyi - Little Sun. Please try to find it. Thanks.

The one I have was listed as self pollinating, but I'll be sending two cuttings your way in case. I've read conflicting reports, so I'm not sure, I currently do have two so it doesn't matter.

I don't think Iill be searching for any more snad cherries Linton, I really am only inten ding to use it as rootstock for a very, very low chill black cherry variety which comes from Turkey.

I have one tree, but I can't disperse any just yet as I had several which died and obviously as its my last it has value to me. I had struck cuttings for linton which died...I think they can handle heat, but not humidity, Would be better in a temperate locale or somewhere hot and dry like Darwin.

Hi Sternus.

If you need to prune anything off it, a few buds would do me. I'm sure I could graft them onto a plum rootstock and use that as a mother plant for cuttings in a year or two.

Would be backup in case yours died as well :)

I will notify you when I have some, but I'll tell you in advance it will be cash before postage after having been grifted once too often as of late.
