Has anyone grown Minnie Royal and Royal Lee cherry trees?

I've been thinking abut this combo for awhile, and may soon take the plunge. Chill hours seem ok. I have a spot for them on the north side of a two-story house beneath the dappled shade of a very large tree.

I would love to hear of experiences with these trees.

Thanks in advance. Smile

I know of a member of the AZRFG club that has had success with them. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks. I'll ask around at the next meeting. I sure would love to have them.

Raintree nursery ships them. I kind of want to try to grow these again myself now.

Thanks for the link. Shipping's not too bad. Smile

Baker's said they can order them with their next shipment form Dave Wilson, but I don't remember what price he quoted.

I just picked up a Minnie Royal and a Royal Lee at Baker's last week. The two that I got are on Mazzard root stock but they were supposed to get some on colt rootstock as well.
I'm also trying a Stella and a Lapins. Hopefully out of the 4, I'll get some cherries.

I would love to hear of your experiences with them as time progresses. Best of luck to your cherry trees! Smile
