Thinking of buying a couple of Cherry Trees for our allotment, need to be on
a dwarfing rootstock so they grow as bushes (Trees not allowed) so probably
Gisella 5 rootstock, but which varieties do you suggest from experience?
We like/want dark red dessert cherries.

You won't get a single cherry unless you think about how you're going

of them.
BTW many cherries are not self fertile.
