Hallo Mike and Jerry,
thank you very much Jerry!
Let me add some more details:
Bastard-Cherries have many adventages:
- The taste is very nice: stronger than Sweet-cherries,
  but less souer than Souer-cherries.
- You can eat them fresh and cook them.
- the juice is very nice and colored.
- the tree-growth is not as tall as Sweet-cherries (= easy harvest),
 but it is better than Sourer-cherries (not much felted).
- they are in general quite resistant

I am very sure at least:
- Koröser Weichsel, syn. Pandy (eg. No. 48, 279, Bb.119), Sweet Weichsel;
- Queen Hortense, syn. Reine Hortense, Glas-Cherry and
- Karneol, are available at the USA.

These days the mentioned ones are harvested at Germany.

ciao
hans
