Growing Capulin Cherry in Phoenix AZ Zone 9B

Hi guys in this video I will show you the current progress of my Capulin Cherry (Prunus Salicifolia) tree in Phoenix Arizona zone 9B. I bought it from Lowes and planted it in October of 2022, its now June of 2023 and I wanted to make a video on its current status. Temps outside are getting into the 100's everyday so I wanted to do this video before and another one after the summer. Currently its thriving.

Great video on a great tree. This is 9B, but verges on 8A. the canyon (San Pedro) is like a wind tunnel, sometimes hitting 45 MPH. When it's over 90 F and dry, winds can kill a tree in a day, but not this one. According to california fruit growers, trees are seedlings. They now have named varieties in Central- and South America. People tell me they'll produce in zone 10. In all my time in Mexico, I never saw one, but then, I stick to the Sierras, not the coast. In the Sierras, they have sand cherries, very large and sweet, but may not produce for us warmer than zone 8. My youngest son bought mine for me 3 years ago. Last year it fruited but birds took it while still green. Not a lot, but it made some. The trees are fantastic, very hardy in the heat and dry air. But, not the blooms. This spring, I put a wind break of 45% shade cloth on 2 sides. Tons of blooms and a lot of fruit forming. The trees are native to central Mexico and a rum cherry, something you've seen if you go back east. Sweet but need to be dead ripe. When the cherries begin to ripen, the bird netting goes on.

Thank you for the video I'm wondering if your tree made it through the July/August from hell. Your the only one I've found growing this successfully in the valley. If it didn't make it I'm so sorry. If it did another update video would be greatly appreciated.

Hi yes so far it did make it so I don't want to jinx it. I will make an update video once the weather cools off. Maybe another 2 weeks
