Default Best cherries for Western NY?

Can anyone suggest the best cherries for grow in Western NY? I am
technically in zone 6 (Rochester area), but I don't trust that; I usually
plant for zone 5. The cherries can be sweet or sour (pie) cherries.
Actually, if anyone in this area grows other stone fruit, I'd like to know
what you're growing successfully.

Thanks so much!

Judy


I'd consult two sources:

www.millernurseries.com

and

http://counties.cce.cornell.edu/monroe/monroe.html

Besides being appropriate to the climate, you might be able to find a
variety that requires little or no chemical spraying. Our lake has enough
problems, as you know.
