HI, Can anyone recommend a variety of dwarf or small cherry tree (sweet for eating) if there is such a thing. I'm a bit tight on space but would like to try one out.Cheers

You are mixing up two issues.

The size of the tree is dependent on the rootstock.  I imagine you would be after the Gisela 5:

Then you choose the variety which goes on top of the rootstock - this determines the variety of cherries, their taste etc.

Sunburst is a good reliable black cherry. Self fertile and available on Gisela 5

Thanks for the tip I was wondering about the fertility issue.
