Thanks very much for your suggestion, Sherwin, but what you suggest poses
problems for me.

I'm told that a Bing Cherry will not propagate another Bing,
shipping a B&B tree from Canadaigua, which is far from the NYC area,
would be prohibitive and moving the tree into my apartment in the winter
would necessitate my family moving out, so I guess I'll have to keep
looking.

However, I still appreciate your efforts.

Thanks,

Larry



Hi Larry,
Millers Nursery in Canadaigua, New York is selling what they call
an X-tra Dwarfed Bing Cherry, which grows to about 6-7 feet high. Their
phone number is 1-800-836-9630. I have never grown this particular tree,
so I can't personally endorse it. I have grown other miniatures, like
Apricots and Nectarines, but unfortunately they all died on me. If you can
bring the tree into your apartment in the colder weather, that might
make a big difference. I am in zone 5.

Sherwin D.

It will be planted in a container on a terrace in a Manhattan high-rise.
