Canadian Sweet Cherries

19 years ago

I need a Canadian source of sweet cherry pollen this spring. I'm looking for Kristin, but any other hardier variety will do- Rainier, Van, Etc... If anyone can part with some dormant branches this spring it would be much appreciated. I can collect the pollen by forcing the cherry branches- planning on doing some hybridizing.

Some years ago, I got some cherry scion wood from the Ag-Canada experimental station in Summerland, BC. One variety that I remember was 'Stella'. I've also gotten some wood from the experimental station in Harrow, Ontario, but I can't remember if they have cherries there.
