if you want dwarf cherries, be absolutely sure you buy from a company knows what they
are doing with dwarfing rootstock. I buy from Bay Laurel out of California.

they are no longer shipping right now.
the other place that is good is http://www.raintreenursery.com/
it is best to ASK them which cultivars are appropriate to your area. I know I have
had VERY good luck with a sweet red bing type cherry in zone 5 of Milwaukee, similar
to your area. Ingrid

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!
