Thanks

You would have to provide all the documentation from your side. Marc Camargo fruit-tree.com nursery Visit us at http://www.fruit-tree.com Our motto: "Preservation by dissemination"

I have Altenburger Melonenkirsche which is very resistant to bacterial canker (Pseudomonas syringae) but I don't have virus certification for that. I also have Vinka which is definitely the best as far as Pseudomonas. I have 4 trees that I imported and they are very healthy. I will be offering them in two years.

Look for the susceptibility of sweet cherries to Pseudomonas syringae. I am probably the only one who has Vinka and Altenburger Melonenkirsche in the U.S. http://www.bordeaux.inra.fr/urefv/base/ ... 20syringae Marc Camargo fruit-tree.com nursery Visit us at http://www.fruit-tree.com Our motto: "Preservation by dissemination"

I have some trees, but maybe you should try to see what are the importation restrictions on Prunus from the U.S. to U.K. and I can send you trees.
