Lapins, Stella, Black Gold... Be prepared for possible early spring frost/freeze problems (they like to bloom early) and fruit that splits (too much rain around ripening time). Animals also love them, as do insects. I've got several on Gisela 5(i think) and they are roughly 7ft tall with no pruning after 3 years.

You don't really say if you want sweet or sour. Some of the sour are on the sweet side of things... although i don't think they can compare to the sweets quite yet.

I love my Stella. We bought it in 2003. It's about 8 feet tall and never been pruned.

We had a terrible cold and wet summer last year and got no fruit, but we had 18 lbs the year before and 22 lbs this year of big, beautiful, sweet delicious cherries.

Oh thaks a bunch! The stella looks like she'd be perfect :)

some years ago I purchased a dwarf Garden Bing cherry tree & it always produces ... this year 28 lbs. of nice cherries. They are not quite as big as the regular Bing cherries but I like the dwarf feature & they do taste sweet & good... just ask the xxx##!!! BIRDS!
