I can’t get a cherry tree to grow here. I’ve set out half a dozen over the past 11 years and they have all croaked.
Cherries need a wintertime freeze, and your zone probably can’t provide that. Wisconsin produces a decent amount of cherries and the picking is excellent in far Northern Wisconsin - Bayfield, WI where they also grow amazing apples and LOTS of berries.
Go figure!
You can take a tour that they call the, ‘Fruit Loop’ that takes you to all of the various farms and orchards. It’s really something special. :)

Our friend runs the ferry in the summertime from Bayfield out to Madeline Island; I’ve been there a number of times through the years. We have a cabin in the Clam Lake area of Wisconsin, so we love Northern WI as much as the SE where we live.
And the Apostle Islands are really something to see!
