The message
from gray contains these words:

Gisela 5 is really only suited for dwarf potted use. Most GC's do not
stock Gisela 5 as a norm.

All the cherries I grow are on Colt and only grow to max of 8 to 10ft
tall. I always take the centre out so the branches bend downwards.
Makes life easier when you cover the tree against the blackbirds, and
then hopefully picking them.

I sometimes feel like picking them off - oh, you mean the cherries...

My mother had a weeping morello which made things easier for netting.
However, the hooters (blackbirds) usually found a way in - then couldn't
find the way out.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Also height is dependant on type of soil and nutient levels etc. I am
on heavy clay with sand 2 ft below. Also dependant on variety, I use
Stella, Merton Glory and a Polish Morello

Sounds like esturine soil...

Where I used to live on the rising ground north of the Thames flood
plain below London, there was a mixture of clay and sand, in bars and
galts. The clay was very fertile, but the sand allowed it to dry out
quite quickly in the summer (when typically unbritish...)

Good for fruit, most years though, and we had thirty-six marure fruit
trees as indicators.
