The Amla - or Indian Gooseberry - is a small leafy tree that grows throughout India and bears an edible fruit. Amla oil is extracted from its seeds and pulp. The Amla fruit is often referred to as the "Indian Gooseberry" because of its edible, very tart taste. The pectin content makes it ideal for jam and chutneys.

The tree begins to yield fruit from the third year onwards, and the productivity levels are good. Amla oil is prepared from dried Amla berries, which have been soaked in coconut oil for several days. This oil is one of the world's oldest natural hair conditioners. These trees are semi deciduous in the winter and spring, and may lose some leaves in transport as a stress response. This is quite normal and the plant will recover well 🌿

Sweet Cherry Trees are large and long lived, they will need space to reach maturity and are only suited to large gardens with the possible exception of the Starkrimson Cherry Tree.

The juicy succulent fruits are loved by many, but they can only be grown in areas that receive a cool to cold winter as they will need 700 - 1400 hours of chill depending on the variety. Many species break bud and flower in early spring, so they can be susceptible to late frosts and are best not planted in frosty pockets. Some varieties will require cross pollination but our varieties here at Daley's are all self fertile #daleysfruit #daleysnursery #cherry #cherrytree #backyardgarden
