Clive,
I have Yellow Glass in two locations, in one location there were two
other sweet cherries that bloomed this year that I assume pollinated
the Yellow Glass- Lapins and Kristen. In the other location the only
other pollinizer for miles was Kristen. The New York Fruit testing
station put out a catalog which listed different incompatability
groups and I had extrapolated from that chart the information I
needed for the pollination requirements for Yellow Glass even though
it wasn't on the chart. So although this information doesn't seem to
be of much help directly, perhaps you could use this to do your own
extrapolating if you can get ahold of a chart somewhere. New York
Fruit Testing station had the best one that I've been able to find
but I can't seem to find it right now.
Good luck
Kevin
By the way, the Yellow Glass was eaten about two weeks later than the
red Kirsten, the birds definately do eat the reds first.
