| Konrad, My two self fertile sweet cherry varieties, Vandalay and Black Gold, were grafted on G.5 rootstock. I don't know if the rootstock itself is self-fruitful or not. This root stock has produced regular size cherries (I compare them to Bing from a supermarket. My trees grow very well and send out many new shoots every year. I don't let them grow tall. It tolerates New England's wet spring well. |

| Gisela 5 parentage comes from P. cerasus x P. canescens.* *http://extension.oregonstate.edu/wasco/sites/default/files/sweet_cherry_rootstocks_pnw619.pdf. I did a prunus rootstock patent search (patents in class plt/183) and I found six rootstocks that have (P. cerasus x P. canescens) in their parentage---one these could be Gilsela 5.

| No, konrad. My cherries are from the grafted varieties. Sorry for the confusion. |

| Looks like not too much to be expected in a cherry. |
