I've been told that sweet cherries aren't recommended around here (in
Nebraska), but I'm thinking of giving them a try, anyway. If they don't
work out, I'll just rip them out and try something else. So next spring,
I'd like to plant two sweet cherry trees on Gisela 5 dwarfing rootstock.
I've seen at least two nurseries (Raintree and Adams County) that offer
sweet cherries on this rootstock, but there are a LOT of different
varieties,... and they all look good. Anyone care to give me a couple of
recommendations? Ideally, I'd prefer that they ripen at different times
(but bloom about the same time, for pollination) or that they are not
identical in taste. But maybe some varieties would better than others in
my climate?
Thanks much,
Bill
