Welcome  <name?>!

I can't tell you much about cherries that far south, but I wanted to 
respond to something you said:

>I am in the proccess of building an edible landscape
I too am interested in edible landscaping, but I did learn something 
a few years ago where there's an information gap [something never 
mentioned in the edible landscaping books I've looked at].  

I planted blueberries by my house (basically a "foundation" planting).
My house has a terrible bug problem - Massive invasion by ladybugs in 
fall, every spider known to mankind, carpenter ants (this one was 
solved).  So I was having it sprayed (which included spraying around 
the foundation).  The blueberries interfered with the spraying. 

Good luck w/ the cherries!
