Minnie Royal/Royal Lee cherries in SoCal. Worth the effort?

I have seen where some people who had planted minnie royal and royal lee low chill cherries were very unhappy with fruit yield. They were getting just a hand full of cherries and bloom times for both trees were staggered.

Is there anyone who has these trees with some time in the ground who is happy with their harvest? I am in inland southern California. Very hot summers and mild winters with 100-300 chill hours.

I will watch this post closely....My two low chillers have done fair in 3 years. Not a good test. The cherries they did produce were delicious. The gophers got my best tree. I notice these definitely are NOT drought tolerant trees. The grower hypes these bigtime...but I would like to hear from people like you.
