Cherry Giant or Giant Cherry (not 100% sure which is correct) It is said that this variety is thrown into dormancy by drought instead of cold and I was thinking this may be the variety I need to try down here. If anyone knows anything about this variety or where I could get some I would greatly appreciate it as I'm just itching to make some of my Aunt Ethel's rhubarb pie!

Boy, still no luck. I've had to have searched 50 or 60 seed companies! I keep reading the same info, though. Numereous sites have stated it's a good variety for mild winters they just never say where to get it....
