Raintree sells cherries on Gisela 3 and 5. We had some discussion about those two roots recently when I asked about them. But I am putting them in the ground.
Does anyone have any input on whether Gisela 3 or Gisela 5 would be a better choice for a cherry in Zone 5b (Iowa)? I am putting in it my side yard, because it is the best drainage I have. So I need to keep the tree smallish.
I’m planning on getting a Whitegold for its good reviews here, and its self-fertile nature.
Raintree doesn’t seem to make much difference between G5 and G3. 10 to 12 ft vs 8 to 10 ft. They seem so similar I’m inclined towards the more vigorous stock.
