I allowed the Australian Brush Cherry to re-grow last fall since it was cut down before I move in 7 years ago. It is now taller than the eve of the house and fruiting. This tree/shrub is one of the most widely grown tree in California. Old specimens in California are known to be almost 100 feet/ 31 meters tall. This is as tall as they grow in their native eastern Australian habitat. Photo taken Oct. 25, 2010.

Yes, but they don't taste very good.

We can only just barely grow cherries (only low-chill varieties) in San Diego. Most varieties are high-chill requiring too many hours of chilling...which our climate doesn't provide.
We however, can grow the Capulin Cherry or Tropical Cherry (Prunus salicifolia). It's a real cherry...we can get almost 3 crops a year here. :>)
