Subject: [NAFEX] Looking for a dwarf sour cherry (P. cerasus)
recommendation...

Gentlemen:
I'd like to grow a dwarf sour cherry tree (P. cerasus); I'm not really that
into the sour cherry (plum) bushes. I noticed recent discussion on the
'Joel' bush cherry (plum) inter-specific hybrid - to me, that one has a
worthless fruit, until it is dried; it makes a good partially dried fruit.
So, for a sour cherry tree that remains small, I'm considering the cultivar
'North Star'. I live in zone 6b/7a, so cold-hardniess is not the biggest
concern. Does anyone recommend a different dwarf sour cherry cultivar?
(p.s. let me know of planting a sour cherry over light-gray landscaping
pavers is a bad idea, or will the stains wash away when it rains?)
Thanks,
Steve
New Jersey
USDA Zone 6b/7a
