Lester: I looked at these once before. Would they be hardy to zone 4b? & do you know anyone that sells these?

I would consider changing several trees over to Geraldi.
It is a genetic dwarf with nodes very close together. With the
nodes very close together on new growth more fruit per
unit length forms. And you can reach all the fruit each year.

I put in a bunch of Illinois Everbearing with the intention of
harvesting the fruit to make wine. I really don't want them to turn
into full sized trees & have been considering two options. 1. Keeping
them headed off at 10-12 foot range or 2. training the central leader
horizontal at about the 4 foot level & creating a sort of espaliered
hedge. Are there any other possibilities and/or does anyone have
experience with managing them for fruit?
