Raintree Nursery in Washington state has English Morello on a dwarfing
rootstock. They have an on-line catalog.

Subject: [JunkMail] [NAFEX] Cherry Question
Growing up (Maryland, between Baltimore and Frederick) we had several
cherry trees: a Morello (made the best pies and preserves in the
world), a Black Heart (a very dark sweet cherry that was great for fresh
eating), and a Yellow Wax (or at least that was what my grandparents
said its name was). While I often see sour cherries with Morello in
their ancestry, I have not located a Morello tree to plant. I've not
even seen references, other than historical (such as Gunston Hall in
VA), to the Black Heart.
The Morello and Black Heart were prodigious producers, and I would be
very interested to find both (or either) to plant. Does anyone have any
suggestions as to where I might locate them?
Thanks,
Chris
