I saw the Biga tree at Ken Taylor's place near Montreal about five years ago. It was visibly nearing the end of its life (of about twenty years, i was told) in zone 5. I would say that planting it in an area any colder would have to involve considerable optimism about a lucky run of mild winters.

Not sure if I already asked this question but does anyone have any experience with a Biga or Binga cherry? They are meant to be hardy sweet cherrys for zone 3.
Also, does anyoneknow which is the sweetest or the U of SK sour cherries. I have Carmine Jewel ad Crimson Passion but I am thinking of adding a couple of others, maybe Valentine.
Thanks,
