| Many years ago, a friend of mine introduced me to Bill Eubank who resides near River Falls WI. Bill had an old cherry tree that was dying out but then suckered up profusely. The suckers were just loaded with fruit! I have seen 3' A friend of mine took to propagating it and growing it commercially in his orchard. Although he grows about This variety was released to Bailey Nursery in MInnesota Hardy thru zone 4 and perhaps zone 3. I do not want to Bailey sells only to garden centers but this variety is now I presume Bailey is budding it on some sort of rootstock |

| The tree almost sounds too good to be true. My Montmorency I believe is too shaded for excellent production. The seven year old tree had 25 delicious cherries this year! Tell me when I can buy the tree! Thanks |

| Mrs G: My 5 sweet cherry pie cherries arrived in yesterday. I find that they are budded. Not sure what rootstock Bailey Nursery is putting them on. I hope they still bear I guess time will tell. Not much info out to the public yet |

| I really doubt my success will be a success on getting them. I would love to try a 'bareroot' and get it in the ground asap. BUT. . . I googled the cherry and could find zero info about the cherry. I love sour cherries; my Montmorency (my only sour cherry) barely produces after seven years (it has a bit too much shade). I need to know the rootstock. Thanks! |

| Mrs G: I have the new 2014 catalog for Bailey Nursery. On page Their #5 containers are ready NOW and I presume bare-root for next spring. Assuming your local garden center |

| I would love to get my hands on that pie cherry. I'll probably have to wait a few years until they sell to a nursery that sends out by mail. Some of the super hardy bush cherries that do well in Saskatchewan get too many diseases here, so I would love to see how it would do here. I had a seedling of Montmorency that produced pie cherries for the first time this year. They taste just like Montmorency but fruit about two weeks later. I'll keep people posted on how it is. |

| I bought my Montmorency from the same nursery (that I sent the info to). They still haven't responded. I do know that the fruit trees they buy are fairly boring, but tested varieties. There are never more than six or seven of any type of fruit tree, if that at the nursery. I live near huge farm 'growers' heaven (or close to Middletown, RI) They specialize in trees and shrubs (wholesale, but not fruit). Guess I'll have to wait for Raintree to pick it up. Cherries seem to grow quickly. Is it on semi-dwarf stock? thanks again! Mrs G |
