please, please help me choose a sour cherry tree
Comments (16)Hi Kubotabx2200, Thank so much for your suggestion. I have been debating a lot between NorthStar and Montmorency. Its not an easy decision for me. I love the look of dark red cherries. And they say NorthStar bears heavily too. And it stays a small tree. But since I already have two red cherries, my husband is pushing to get the dwarf Montmorency. Besides, my neighbor has a standard Montmorency (I am certain its a Montmorency, he does not know) and the birds and squirrels don't eat the fruit and they are tasty when cooked. Can you describe the flavor of NorthStar to me if you a little time? Yeshwant, I got my Surefire from Raintree and I planted it in 2004. It is a small tree no doubt. Now its just about 6 feet or so and upright. Last year it had flowers but set only a few fruit that fell off. This year it had many clusters of flowers and all of them have turned to baby fruit. I have big hopes for this tree(!) I don't have a picture of the tree in bloom but I could still take a picture now. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to post a picture into a message? So the answer is I think you will have to wait 2-3 years for good fruit on the Gisella 5 rootstock that Raintree sold it on. I live around Riverdale. Some parts of my yard does seem like 7a but some parts are definitely colder. The trouble with Starkbros is not that they sell you poor trees but that they don't tell you what the rootstock is so I don't have some important information. But I still did get some trees from Starkbros in the past and I ordered dwarfs only. However some of my trees turned out not to be dwarfs, they are huge. So I find them hit-or-miss. I think your Suerfire will grow quite a bit more, specially this year but it won't be a big tree. If I figure out how post pictures I will share.

Comments (7)Do like I did, I checked with a few local retailers and found brand new display models of the 601F and 601R. I picked them up for about $4k for the pair. They came with a full warranty from SZ as well. They were only powered up for about 1 hour total before I received them All docs were included and the shipping tape was still on the drawers. It takes a little digging to find them, but if you call all the local SZ dealers and ask if they have a model in their display that will be replaced soon. They may be willing to sell it from the display. I had to wait a couple months for the dealer to get a replacement and to have his cabinets adjusted for the new models. Well worth it. If there is a model change coming up, you can also ask the nicest dealer to check with the supplier to see if any OTC items are available at a good price. If you are interested in a model 650, my local dealer has one available for $3250 I believe. I am in Atlanta, so shipping it far could hurt the deal factor. I also picked up a nice Viking range the same way. It was overstock at the supplier after a model change. Remember, dealers don't want old models in their showroom for very long. This dealer was a kitchen and bath design firm mainly, but sold appliances as well. I added a picture of the new cabinet I am putting them in. We just put it in place yesterday. It will be stained to look like an old ice box. Although the model I have is a framed version, I have found that you can remove the handle side trim and use the overlay end piece instead. This will allow me to make the door panels look more ice box like.

Comments (6)I have the KA French door with no water or ice on door as we just didn't ever use it and on our last ancient fridge it was the first thing to break although after many years. I don't mind going into the drawer for the ice at all because they provide a nice scoop and you can just quickly scoop a big amount of ice and be done with it. There is ice water spout inside the fridge on the side wall. I didn't want to sacrifice fridge space to have it on the door but everyone has different needs and wants. I have been happy with my KA and have had it for about two years plus. It's stainless and once I got the hang of how to keep it looking good I love it. I have stayed in condos on vacation that have all GE and I was very impressed with the appliances. The dishwashers did a great job and I liked the washer and dryer so much I sold my Bravos Maytag set that I loathed and got a GE front load that I love : ) My sister did a huge kitchen reno and has the GE ovens and she is happy with them. I have to tell you there really isn't that much difference in appliances unless you get up in the stratosphere of price and even then they all keep food cold, freeze ice, cook food. If you have a limited budget just stay in a price range that works for you and don't get too caught up in worrying about this that and the other thing. I admire you for trying to keep it in the 3K range but I don't see how you are going to be able to do that with the number of appliances you need and the brands you are looking at. I am wishing you all the best and absolutely YES I would say that the counter depth is definitely worth it. It made such a difference in my kitchen with not sticking out in the pathway and gave us so much more room and utility. We have a small fridge in the basement for overflow and still since our family is small I have plenty of room. Sometimes the freezer can be a problem but with the extra space in the other fridge it's workable....See MoreNeed help with choosing a 48inch refrigerator and range Please!
