| Hi,
Can someone help me select a Cherry Tree which is:
*Self-fertile
*Grows to UNDER 20’ Wide
*Edible, sweet; not a pie cherry.
*Appropriate for USDA zone 6: New Jersey
*Will fruit in mostly shade
Thanks,
Steve

| Your main options for your first 4 requirements are Stella and Lapins. However, I don't think you can produce adequate fruit w/o at least 6 hours of sun (and you may need even more than that). You might be able to monitor your site and pick a spot where a Lapins on a highly dwarfing Gisela rootstock might get enough sun. Although, depending on your site limitations, a taller tree might get you more sun. Please note that I've done a lot of reading on cherries, but I'm not an expert by any means. |
