get kiwi, the arctic kind. where did you get your sour cherry from? if on dwarf
rootstock, what kind? it should be hardy. try ordering stuff from Jungs. they are
zone 4 hardy plants. Ingrid

My sour cherry tree died suddenly this summer. I'll probably replace it
with another, but I also have a spot in the back for some kind of bush
fruits. I'd love to grow boysenberries or Youngberries, but I'm in
Minnesota and I don't think *any* trailing blackberries are hardy up
here. I don't really like raspberries.

Are there any "bush cherries" that produce sour cherries that are meaty
enough to be worth pitting for a pie? I've heard that Nanking and
Hansen's are mostly pit and too small to use a cherry pitter.

Has anyone grown the Jan/Joy/Joel cultivars? Any good?

Thanks,
Bob
