Out here in California, Zaiger genetics, distributed by Dave Wilson Nursery also has a pluerry released and another one just went public this year. dave Wilson pluerry I haven't tasted them myself but I have heard good things from people who have. This one needs a pollinator and they recommend burgundy plum.

Those look pretty good. I'm gonna pick a tree up tomorrow when I'm in the area.

I don't know why it's labelled Prunus avium, unless that just refers to a rootstock. P avium is just the species name for the wild cherryof Eurasia. Bio cherry means nothing unless it implies the tree was organically grown. What does Japanese in inverted commas mean? Can you sound it out?

Yes, I noticed that too. The card claims it's a "new fruit", a cross between a cherry and a plum, and the name in quotes is "Biocherry". It sounds like the official nickname of the hybrid. My wife may be able to find more information online when she has time if I ask her.

I just got back from planting it. Took about an hour to clear some bamboo and make a suitable patch, as my garden is getting a bit full. If it does well, I'm wondering how it can handle birds. Crows like to hang around in that area, and I Won't be able to protect the fruit.

Apparently it has a brix of 16 to 18. It's a cross between an American cherry and plum. Supposed to be very hardy and easy to grow. Needs no cross pollinator, but can cross pollinate with plums and apricots. I don't know if I've ever eaten a fresh apricot, I really like dried apricots. Apparently those grow really well here also.
