My Bali trees have a few flowers but no cherries.  No suckering and
poor growth.  I am disappointed because I read how wonderful and
hardy Bail is.  Bali originated in Canada but I read the American
version is not on own roots.  I don't think Mazzard is hardy enough. 
There are probably different versions of Bali on different roots. 
There is a small nursery about 40 miles from me.  The owner imports
some stock from Winnipeg in the spring.  She said it is a hassle to
get import certificates but Canadian nursery is better for this area.
I'll track her down and ask her to import Bali this spring.
