I planted some hazelnuts in my orchard and if you keep the sucker cut
off, it will be a small tree. This year would have been the first year
that they bloomed and the April freeze got the blossoms, but the trees are
doing well. You live in about the same zone (5a) as I do, so they should
work for you. I don't think they grow very tall.

Bill, Seeing as you are likely someday to have way too much fruit anyway,
how about some nuts to eat with the fruit? You could fit some hazels in
those spots instead of sweet cherries. Seeing as hazels are
bushes,
That's interesting. I never thought about nuts, and I
didn't realize that hazelnuts were bushes. I figured nut trees would be
too big and not productive enough to bother with.
Hmm,... I'll
have to think about it, but cherries still sound more appealing, I
think. Still, if I can plant a self-pollinating sweet cherry, I might
hold off on planting another. There's really no reason I absolutely HAVE
to fill up every square inch of my yard right away, is there?
:-D
Thanks!
