Recommended varieties for a bush cherry?
My sour cherry tree died suddenly this summer. I'll probably replace it
with another, but I also have a spot in the back for some kind of bush fruits. I'd love to grow boysenberries or Youngberries, but I'm in Minnesota and I don't think *any* trailing blackberries are hardy up here. I don't really like raspberries. Are there any "bush cherries" that produce sour cherries that are meaty enough to be worth pitting for a pie? I've heard that Nanking and Hansen's are mostly pit and too small to use a cherry pitter. Has anyone grown the Jan/Joy/Joel cultivars? Any good? Thanks, Bob |

You are probably right.
Those two have been party girls far too long to be recommended for anything. Who knows where they have been? "zxcvbob" wrote in message ... Cereus-validus....... wrote: Jenna and Barbara!!!! I don't know about "cherries", but I appreciate the joke. Thanks for the laugh. Best regards, Bob |

get kiwi, the arctic kind. where did you get your sour cherry from? if on dwarf
rootstock, what kind? it should be hardy. try ordering stuff from Jungs. they are zone 4 hardy plants. Ingrid zxcvbob wrote: My sour cherry tree died suddenly this summer.

well currents do well in zone 5, how about blueberries? service berries are nice
bushy trees. these trees gotta be watered during droughts or they will die, also be very careful about root stock. some of the roots are not really compatible.

Ingrid It was either "Meteor" or "Northstar", I don't remember which. I bought it about 10 or 11 years ago at a local nursery and it did splendidly here (zone 4) until it died suddenly this summer. I'll get another sour cherry just like it, but I'm wondering what bush fruits would be good here besides raspberries. I had some jostaberries until I pulled them out a few years ago because they only produced when the summer was unusually cool and damp. They would probably do really well anywhere near the shore of Lake Superior -- like maybe Duluth.
