Default Best cherries for Western NY?

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


We have been looking at Raintree, and will probably order from them. I have
gotten their catalogue forever, and they have good ratings, and would like
to give them a try. Of course Miller's, which was suggested here (thanks!)
is within driving distance of me, so maybe we'll go and chat with them.

We already have one tree, although we don't know what cultivar it is, other
than it's a sweet cherry. It does well, so it's too bad I don't have its
name.

I appreciate the suggestions. Thanks so much!
