Not sure what this has to do with the subject. And I read today that the cherry crop is terrific. There's a dwarf form planted in a Kent orchard yielding a terrific crop. The form is 'Gisela'. Gisela 5 is the most dwarfing rootstock for cherries, all our four are on that rootstock. Strangely Brogdale didn't want us to have the tree we ordered from them on that rootstock, they said it was too dwarfing for the garden and best for container grown trees and I had to persuade them by saying I can't do ladders. All ours are doing very well, I've had to prune them quite hard this year to keep them within their cage and we got a reasonable crop (the second year for 2 and third year for 2). Blackfly on the new growth was a serious problem this year. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |
