The message
from Sacha contains these words:

In my limited experience and my husband's far more extensive experience,
birds always get to the cherries the day you think "those will be ready to
pick tomorrow"! I don't think any of these would be happy in pots but I
don't know if the dwarf types might be.

Stella (dwarf) should be, and in any case, is very easy to net for the
first five or six years.

However, I'd have needed a cage to protect mine (in ye olden dayes down
on the smallholding) 'cos the goats escaped (as usual) and ate them.

Not the cherries - the trees.

Oh oneupmanship where art thou? ;-))
