Does anyone sell sweet x sour cherry hybrids in the US? (Prunus avium x Prunus cerasus)                   


These hybrids are often refereed to as Duke cherries. Don't know of any nursery propagating them. I happen to have one that the person who selected it thinks is fairly good. My tree was budded. It is small, black when ripe and fairly good to eat out of hand. It isn't sweet nor sour maybe "sugar neutral" is a good description. Last year it was loaded and the birds love it.
