grafting onto Black Cherry
Comments (10)I have a gut feeling that it's not going to work,.. but you'll never know until you try. I have experimented with choke cherry, it took but after about 3 month the graft died. I'm always looking for hardy root stock to see if sweet cherries can be grown here and yes, grafted to pincherry seems to be working, also top grafted on Evans cherry, fruit can be expected ones in a while when winter temperatures don't go beyond minus 35 C or -31F...I kind of expect it every 6 years or so on average, ....just like our Apricots. Have you ever seen wild sweet cherry tree seedlings in ditches or on edge of woods [from bird droppings] ?? ...I did, in the old country and some of them are really good, perhaps a little smaller but who cares, ..as a kid, we still loved these cherries. My thinking is this,....some of these wild ones might just fit the bill to grow up here in the north. I sure would love to test some of these! So far, we really can't grow any sweet cherries here. In Alaska, Amur cherry [Prunus maackii] is used allot, I'm still testing this here too but it seems pin cherry does better for me. Allot of places in Alaska doesn't get as cold then here, especially when close to the Ocean. Konrad...See Moregrafting weeping cherry branch onto fruiting cherry
Comments (1)Weeping cherry should be graft compatible and will still weep if so. I don't know about pollination, my weeping cherry looks like a prunus avium (sweet cherry ancestor) but there are different types of weeping cherry. Scott...See MoreGrafting onto evans cherry
Comments (5)Nanking is more closely related to plums than to true cherries. I've grafted both plums and peaches onto Nanking understock - very dwarfing for peach, not as much so for plums. Pulled out my Evans and all its suckers years ago - it seems to great for you folks in z4 and colder, but not suitable for my hot zone 6....See MoreFlowering Cherry Trees and Fruiting Cherry Trees Explained
Comments (21)"subgenus" may be more appropriate (or maybe not, taxonomists have put both sweet and sour cherries into the subgenus Cerasus). All these different cherry species are very closely related, if one wants to consider them different species. This is one example where the line separating different species is not a clear one. It could even be possible to consider the different cherry families as subspecies. After all, if they can freely interbreed and hybridize with each other, can they not be considered members within the same species? (by this definition we could divide all cherries into only 2 groups: those with 16 chromosomes and those with 32) Or one could attempt to divide cherries into different families: Sweet cherries (P. avium), sour cherries, Black cherries plus Capulin native to the American continent (put into same group), and Asian flowering cherries. Perhaps better classification could be provided if taxonomists utilized multiple degrees of species relatedness/separation, because it is ambiguous whether some of the different cherries should be classified as entirely separate species or subspecies within a singular species, neither of which would be wholly accurate....See Morewildforager
