Default Need advice on Cherry trees

Cherries are not a good bet for Scotland. They like fairly cold
winters, and are prone to many diseases in wet climates. Scotland is
USDA zone 8 or 9; zone 9 is definitely pushing it for cherries.

A Japanese plum or black mulberry might be a better bet. Pears
tolerate wet conditions well, but you need two.
