They grow them in the central valley near Fresno where is crazy hot. The cherry harvest will be done here in a few weeks then these things will put on 4-5ft of growth. Its probably the most vigorous trees I have so plant with caution they want to get giant.

Monday we hit 108. All the cherries in our area have responded in kind and I swear they grew a foot overnight.
I grafted some cherries I got from you on my pluot and my 4 in 1 cherry last year and they are producing like mad already, thought they have a tendency to create 'double' cherries.

My kids love them and the trees are LOADED this year! they are royal lee and munnie royal and royal crimson. All 3 are fruiting here very heavy fruitset. if you live in southern ca, these are awesome trees.

Yes I do sell lots of low chil stone fruit I have all the good ones. It's best to do the grafting in January or February. If you ask me at that time I will have them.
