I ended up buying an Evans Bali a few days ago, by the way. Nice looking little tree (about 6 feet tall sitting in its pot on my patio right now). Even has some flower buds, so maybe if I protect a few clusters of the cherries in mesh bags this year I'll even get to taste a dozen or so cherries this August. My main concern at this point is whether I have gotten a tree that will end up growing too large for the space I have. The label says 15 - 20 feet tall and 12-15 feet wide, though other things I have read have suggested that this variety gets 10-15 feet tall. I guess I am figuring I will try to keep it pruned to a smaller height. We'll see how this goes. If it produces good fruit in abundance, I will probably be willing to indulge its space needs. I know a person in the neighborhood with a Masabi cherry as it turns out, so maybe I can learn how to do grafting and get a branch of Masabi on my Evans Bali! Thanks everyone for answering my questions.

i'd love your 'Cherry Rose' sunflower Rudbeckia lacinata will you look at my list and see if you like anything on my list?? also the lavender/white datura is a datura tatula its so fragrant!! ~Medo plmk

try Rare seed source. Ive had good sucess with most of there seeds

 >> grafting sweet cherries onto pincherry is exciting news and I now  >> look forward to the day I can possibly be harvesting sweet cherries twrosz, Sweet and Pie cherries can easily be grafted to each other as is done all the time. This comes from an experimenter, you might know him Clair, who lives around the coldest Fairbanks AK. A pie cherry 'Evans' 3ft high on Pin cherry 'Jumping Pound' from his place 13 months ago while visiting with my camera.. From this experiment what works good for Pie cherries onto Pin should also be compatible for the Sweets you want to try. One caution. Clair's combination still has the pin cherry leaves and it is possible (as it has not been proven) there could be phloem tissues failing to connect properly.. If he was to remove pin cherry branches the roots could eventually starve to death. This type of condition was first reported in 1949 between peach and a certain type of plum... and now hopefully in your experiments you might be trying to leave some of yours with the branches on. Glad to hear something of the dwarfish U of S hybrid cherries. They are a long bred stock of dwarfing cherries that I fully think will be hardy in Fairbanks even on thier own roots. For Fairbanks Clair says Pie cherry 'Evans' will not get as big on it's own root as his one grafted to pin cherry. From what I've seen in Fairbanks even apple trees grow up smaller. Thanks Konrad. I think I'll be in the nieborhood soon. But is there any dates set for showing fruit?
