The seeds of this selection have a very high and very fast germination rate too.

These are authentic Nelita seedlings grown from the fruit I grew from the seeds I received from Miguel in Portugal.

Hi Kevin,

I am interesting with the Nelita seedlings, how old are the seedlings?  Do you have a picture of them?

I have couple seedlings that I brought the seeds from Miguel.

Thanks,
Al

Post by: Mike T on August 21, 2020, 07:19:15 PM
They look so good and I have a seedling that got a bit roasted in the sun. Looks like there is a bit of a species complex going on here with free genetic intermingling. Brings a new light to 'crossing the Rio Grande'. Nelita looks to have the biggest and most appealing fruit in the group.
Title: Re: CHERRY OF THE RIO GRANDE - NELITA SEEDLINGS FOR SALE
Post by: Kevin Jones on August 21, 2020, 09:13:24 PM
Whats your opinion of the fruit Kevin?

Larger and much more productive than my standard COTRG.
There is some subtle variation in shape and flavor... granted I only have 5 mature plants.
Mostly sweetish. Not astringent. With a lot of red pulp. Each fruit has several seeds... which sprout amazingly quick... so it wouldn't take you long to have quite a collection.

Post by: Iceman716238 on November 11, 2020, 08:50:23 PM
I am considering getting one. How is the taste vs Barbados cherry? Thanks
Title: Re: CHERRY OF THE RIO GRANDE - NELITA SEEDLINGS FOR SALE
Post by: Kevin Jones on November 12, 2020, 10:16:30 AM
Sort of an Apples and Oranges comparison...
To me... Barbados cherry has a crisper texture and tastes like your eating a rose blossom. Sounds weird but they are nice!
A good Cherry of the Rio Grande has a juicer, softer, plum (Prunus) like texture and an apricot/peach flavor.
Someone else may want to weigh in with their culinary opinions.

Title: Re: CHERRY OF THE RIO GRANDE - NELITA SEEDLINGS FOR SALE
Post by: Kevin Jones on November 15, 2020, 11:11:17 AM
Yes... This is a fast maturing species and will set fruit within 3 years from seed!... at least it did for me... on all 5 of my mother plants.
You are getting a nice head-start with these seedlings too... Thanks!

Title: Re: CHERRY OF THE RIO GRANDE - NELITA SEEDLINGS FOR SALE
Post by: Kevin Jones on January 30, 2021, 10:09:55 AM
I treat them them as tropicals... for now all of mine are in containers in a cool greenhouse... tender, warm and happy!
I'm still experimenting with hardiness of these Nelita variants.
You could grow them up a bit, harden them off to cooler temps and set them out in a protected area like the south side of a building or windbreak.
My Run-of-the-Mill Cherry of the Rio Grandes (not Nelita) seem to have quite a bit of hardiness in a protected area with temps even down to the lower 20s in containers... should fare better in the ground in a similar area.

Here's a topic on COTRG hardiness you may find interesting:

Hi Kevin,

How would you describe the taste and texture?
Title: Re: CHERRY OF THE RIO GRANDE - NELITA SEEDLINGS FOR SALE
Post by: Kevin Jones on April 23, 2021, 09:36:10 AM
Taste is subjective of course.... a sweetish flavor... with a juicy Plum/Apricot texture.

Bonus though... I can ship 1, 2 or 3 for the same price.... save some $$$ that way.

Just wanted to say thank you to Kevin. I bought 4 different plants from him and all arrived healthy and in great packaging. He was also very communicative and easy to work with. Would buy again.

Keen to get one, but how hardy will these be with the dry Vegas heat and winter temps that get in the low 30s?
Title: Re: CHERRY OF THE RIO GRANDE - NELITA SEEDLINGS FOR SALE
Post by: Kevin Jones on June 14, 2021, 01:41:13 PM
(Yoda Voice) Planting outside I guess you are...
Gradually expose to full sun to prevent sunburn (It was growing in FULL Alabama sun here)
Mix lots of organic matter in the (large) planting hole...
Mulch well. Really well.
Water regularly for the first few weeks until it is established.
Lower 30s should not be a problem temp wise.
You can always throw a sheet or light tarp over it if you are worried on below freezing nights.
I left my mature Cherry of the Rio Grands (in containers) out all this winter as an experiment and they did fine.
It got down in the teens a few times too.

Or you can do like me... grow it in a large container and bring it in the greenhouse for the winter.

Good Luck!

Kevin

I know you have challenging soil conditions in Nevada... organic matter and mulch will really help.

I planted mine in a semi-shade in z 10a and it's growing surprisingly very fast. I need to measure the height but I think in the last 2 weeks 2 sets of leaves appeared. There are also a few side branches are taking off. I added half a bag of good soil into the planting hole well mixed with the native one
