Cedar Bay cherries are native to coastal parts of Northern Australia, and produce masses of very tasty cherry-like fruit. They are sweet and have a flavour which is described as berry, grape and cherry.
The tree is frost tender, especially when young. They can survive temperatures to 0, so should be planted in a sheltered, protected, sunny position if planting outside. In our climate, the recommended method is to grow them in a pot, and they do particularly well potted in a greenhouse, which offers extra frost protection and warmth. Like all fruit trees, they like well draining soil.
In New Zealand's temperate climate, Cedar Bay Cherries only grow to around 1-1.5m high and wide. They form a compact bush rather than large tree.
Our plants are 2 years old, and in good conditions, Cedar Bay cherry trees will begin fruiting after 3 years.
