Mahaleb is a fairly common cherry rootstock. Supposedly traditionally used in Iran. Said to be very susceptible to gophers. Commonly used as a rootstock for pie cherries. Van Well , C&O, and Bay Laurel nurseries all sell pie cherries on Mahaleb.

Mahaleb "Pontaleb" is supposed to make a semi-dwarf. It's different than ordianry Mahaleb, isn't it?

I had a Stella sweet cherry on this rootstock but it died this winter after growing well for 4 years. Now I have numerous sprouts coming up from the root stock and I'm wondering what I will get (fruitwise) if I just let the sprouts develop and grow. Will there be any edible fruit? I hate to lose the well-developed rootstock.
