David,Your explanation is reasonable, but there is another possibility.  It's 
possible that the 4th tree is not St. Cecilia, either because the scionwood 
got mixed up or it was a sport that's a lot more vigorous.  You should be 
able to tell when the trees start bearing.Muffy BarrettSouth Central Wisconsin

.  2) I 
have 4 trees of St. Cecilia, ostensibly all on O-3.  But one of them has 
grown to twice the size 
of the other 3.  (They are all side-by-side)  I suspect that the rootstock of 
this one was not in 
fact O-3.  Of the 4 trees, the 3 smaller ones have very little new growth, 
(maybe 3-4"), but the 
big one is covered in masses of vegetative growth, easily 18" or more,  all 
over and in all 
directions.  (I spent half an hour pruning out all the extra growth, and 
ended up with a whole 
bag full of scion wood).  My interpretation is that the dwarfing effect of 
the rootstock is 
promoting fruit spur development and suppressing vegetative growth.  Is this 
reasonable?

Where all did you get them from?  I thought only Henry Fields/Gurney's 
carried them.  I bought 2 last fall from Henry Fields (and paid a fortune for 
them), but they were nice large, healthy plants--maybe 3' high--with a couple 
of woody stems on them.  Henry Fields always has some sort of "special 
promotion" and I think I bought these when they were half price.  I did go 
ahead and order the Joy, Joel, and Jan bush cherries, too.  I also have 
Nanking and Hansen.  What can I say?  I like bush cherries!
