Hello Friends;
 
Gisela 6 looks like a fine rootstock, except for one concern.
Early bloom.
 
Since my orchard is on the line from zone 5 / 4 in central Maine, I've been using zone 4 for (general) hardiness calculations, but don't have a feel for frost - bloom kill. The cherries I'm looking at are Benton and Jubileum, both on G6.
 
Do any of you have any cherries on G6 in that region?
Is there a bloom date chart somewhere for that stock / zone?
How early is 'early bloom' WRT mazzard / mahaleb, for instance.
 
Thank you again for all of your sharing.
Hopefully as time goes on I will be giving out answers, too.
 
Richard
