I've seen a couple places in Madison that had Black Tartarian (or something related) as well as other unidentified sweet cherries. I've always thought of Madison as pretty hard core zone 5. I'm 70 miles west & a full zone colder. ~mIEKAL

I've seen a sweet cherry in fruit accross the street and a block or so toward the capitol from Sofia's Restaurant on the East Side of Madison.  I've been meaning to get scions or seed from it, but somehow haven't managed to do so.  You might want to look for the tree yourself.

Subject: [NAFEX] Hardy Sweet Cherries

I'd like to plant sweet cherries for an edible landscape project in Madison, WI.  I've read in some books that the varieties Kristin and Stark Gold are hardy to zone 4, but Miller Nurseries sells Kristin and says it is only hardy to zone 5.  There does not seem to be any corroboration among people I know that sweet cherries can be, or are grown in our area.  I've never seen one here.  We are actually less than 1/4 mile from a large body of water and Madison itself is often listed as being in a zone 5 island surrounded by zone 4.  Obviously we are somewhere between 4 and 5.  Anyone know if these varieties are hardy in zone 4, or if we would be safe to plant them here?
