Minnie Royal Cherry

The trees arrived in great shape! They are healthy and already leafing out when I removed them from the box. I soaked them in water for 2 days and then planted into a large pot. I will transfer to the ground when winter hits... I am anxious to see how they do, I am in Galveston County and I may be the only one with home grown cherries!!!

I received this tree as one of the three trees purchased. Two others being the pollinator Royal Lee Cherry and a Fuji Persimmon tree. The leaves were yellow when I opened the box and soaked for a day as directed. Within half of day of being the ground, the yellow leaves already turned green. The pictures here when I first planted it in April/May being about 4 feet high and now in September being about 6 feet tall. I live in zone 8b in East Texas, a place known to be hot and wet (and we experienced a very wet spring and mild summer), but even though I wished I planted them a little higher than the surrounding ground, they all did so well.

Bought the Royal Lee and Minnie Royal Cherry Trees. Both were beautiful little bare root trees when they arrived. I planted both side by side (10ft apart) and the Royal Lee is absolutely thriving here in Zone 9B. Saldy, the Minnie Royal never broke dormancy. They both received the exact same care, sun, water, etc and I have more that 20 fruit trees in my backyard, so I'm not sure what happened with the Minnie Royal. Wouldve been 5-stars, if both woke up, but I'll put it right in the middle... 3-stars.

Very nice trees, arrived on time according to the shipping schedule. Trees have been planted and seem to be doing well.

Bare root looks healthy. Packaged well, no damage. Good root system, thick stem. Leafed out immediately. I have high hopes for this variety in south central Texas.

After losing citrus trees to freeze for the second time in two years, I decided to go a different direction with my replanting. When I found these dwarf cherry trees, I was thrilled. They arrived with damp packing around the roots and already budding. I followed Raintree’s planting instruments, so now we’ll just see how it goes. Fingers crossed. I’ll update after a few months
