Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lycanthrope" data-source="post: 178879" data-attributes="member: 562">Im growing Passion, Carmine Jewel, Romeo, Montmorency and Evans/Bali. Ive got 2 passion and never got any fruit from either of them, they arent quite cold hardy for our area. They are growing great but the flowers die or wont pollinate well. They will be removed soon. I also have 4 large carmine jewel but 2 of them are severely encroaching on my apple trees so if anyone wants to come dig them out, you can have them for the labor of removal. If this is done before they are actively growing they should be fine to transplant to a different location. I really like carmine jewel and they produce great, not what Id consider a typical cherry flavor, but they are still really good. I havent gotten any fruit on my Juliet or Romeo yet but they arent very large, might get a few to try this year. Montmorency is mostly left for the birds and evans/bali is a smaller bush that hasnt produced much yet either, makes a nice ornamental tho. Where did you get the romeo from and what size are they?- - - Updated - - -Black walnut is borderline hardy for our climate. Butternut is more hardy and the nuts are pretty good also. I planted some butternut seeds 2 years ago about half of them came up, so they can be grown from seed. I dont have any room for large nut trees tho so I gave them away.</blockquote>
