Subject: [NAFEX] Sour cherry cultivars for zone 6b/7a

I just learned that, perhaps, planting an 'Evans' (aka 'Bali') sour cherry
(P. cerasus) in zones warmer then 4 or 5 might result in a tree which is a
failure: less productive and more prone to insects ruining the fruit - that
there would not be enough chill hours.
Hopefully, my 'North Star' will be fine.
What is a sour cherry that is not a hybrid (i.e. w/P. tomentosa) that would
be good for zone 6b/7a?
Lastly, speaking on sour cherry hybrids, does anyone think that the SK dwarf
sour cherry series will do ok for me, or too hot here?
Thanks,
Steve; NJ 6b/7a
