Thinking of planting a cherry tree. The wife really likes the Rainier cherries, so thinking of getting one to plant out back, also going to plant a bing cherry tree to use to pollinate each other. Will any tree of each other pollinate one another or do you have to get certain ones, and will they both provide fruit? And also how close to each other should they be planted? Anyone have any experience with this? never done fruit trees.

It depends. A few years back I bought Mom a peach tree that pollinates itself. Some fruit trees need more than one tree. Get on seed sites and look into them.

I went to the Gurney's seed company site first and found this in 10 seconds. This is just one of the varieties of fruit trees that will pollinate itself without another tree. Look into it and you'll find many more. gurneys.com/sweet-stella-cherry-tree-/p/08082/ |

Yeah but the type of cherry I want is not a self pollinating tree.

Is she picky and only likes that kind? Yeah. They are by far the best tasteing cherries but they are expensive and we can only get them here for about two weeks so i thought i'd grow my own. |
