    Hi guys,

    I'm looking to plant a couple of cherry trees this autumn.

    Any advice would be most welcome. I'd like one for cooking the other for eating. Which varieties would pollenate well together and give me lots of tasty fruit.

    There is only one option really. Morello, which is a dark, acid cherry, and Stella, a sweet cherry. Both are self fertile.:gnthb:

    I was thinking morello and perhaps summer sun.

    I grow the varieties that Dai suggests and both do well.
