When I contacted DNA Gardens about two years ago on the possibility of
buying some of the new U of Sask cherries, I was told that none of them
had come out of quarantine yet (for shipping to the USA) and more
importantly (if memory serves me right) that the selections would be
sold only under propagation agreements.  So far I know of no commercial
company that does business in the USA that has applied for such an
agreement. -- Sam Brungardt, St. Paul, Minn. (USDA Zone 4b), where we're

Good luck with this, (I am not the only one who has
gotten less than a positive response when they
realized I was calling from the states about a
possible order.) 
On this page they say $500 minimum order.

Shouldn't be too hard to fill by multiple purchasers
if the plants don't actually have to go through
quarantine. 
I happened, luckily, to arrive during the ripe season
on these cherries a few years back; was given a warm
reception and tour, and after seeing and eating these
cherries say it is worth pursuing., Del
