Responding to someone's probable imposter North Star Cherry, Pete Tallman 
said, "I suspect you might have an imposter."

   Imposters are out there.  Once, when I was selling "Duchess" apples at a 
farmers' market, an apple expert told me, "That doesn't look like a 
Duchess."  My response to him was, "When a nursery sells me a tree, I'm 
going to call it by the same name as the nursery said it to be."
   About a dozen years ago I bought a Mantet apple.  I know what the fruit 
is supposed to look and taste like and am convinced I received the rootstock 
tree instead.
