Comments (2)Jim: Your best bet is probably Lapins on Gisela 5 or Krymsk 5. Lapins is self fertile. And those two rootstocks are the most dwarfing and earlist to bear. However, if your soil is the least bit droughty, you will need to water once a week in dry spells. Try Raintree nursery. They have sent me very nice sweet cherry trees. The fruitnut...See MoreGrowing Sweet Cherries
Comments (4)I'm a novice in LI, NY and I can attest to what ltilton and franktank said. My "semi-dwarf" bing is 25' after it was pruned (life happened and we didn't prune for 10 years LOL). Last year I got one - one cherry. The rest got that funky brown rot. I must say though it was one of the best cherries I ever had. The bing tree was never prolific even though the next door neighbor had a sour cherry tree (50'). I learned some grafting and last year grafted stella, van, lambert, rainier, heldenfingen, and corum onto my bing. My goal is to have a bushel o' cherries this year. Good luck to you and please let us know how it turns out. I thought I'd share....See MoreCarla's right Golden Sweet apricot rocks!!
Comments (6)Hello, I am new to this forum (and relatively new to growing fruit trees too! :-) I will plant some more fruit trees this winter and would love to have a golden sweet apricot. How did you manage to get one? I live in San Jose, CA) so I can always drive to Burchell nursery but on their website they state that they sell to commercial growers only. Thank you very much!...See MoreHeirloom Sweet Potatoes
Comments (2)Hi Bellatrix, I've never seen a great answer to that question, especially for us up north, so I started ordering the Northern Special from Sandhill. It is so cheap, and you get at least 2 varieties. I've done this twice now. I realize it is a gamble not knowing what you're getting, and I've received white and red kinds both times. But how bad could a sweet potato be? lol. I also grow them in large pots not in the veggie garden. They are very pretty vines. The foliage really varies between cultivars in color and shape. I figure when I stumble onto a variety I really love, I'll keep ordering that one along with the special. You could re-post this question on the Vegetable Forum maybe you'll get a few respondents to list favorites there. Remy...See Morerobynlacy
