A quick Google Search shows me the Pacific NW's Cherry season starts first week of June. Not sure what is like in other less great areas of the world. OK, cherry season has hit Tennessee. Bought a bag yesterday. May plant a Rainier cherry tree in my yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just planted one peach and two apple trees in my front yard (back in April). First time with fruit trees. Definitely more work than raspberries or strawberries, but i'm hoping the payoff is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely more work than raspberries or strawberries, but i'm hoping the payoff is worth it. I have little experience with fruit trees as well, but we plan on planting a few more in our yard, since we have a big open front yard. We already have a fig, apple, and mullberry tree, we're probably going to plant a paw paw, pear, and cherry as well. The apple tree looks good so far, but it has a big wound in the middle, so its lifespan is probably limited, and our fig is producing, but in a bad location right up against the house. Mullberries are great, but the birds eat 90% of them before they're ripe. I was curious, so I looked it up, and per a few websites, Rainier cherries are the most bird resistant, and they put out fruit earlier than other cherry trees, so they're clearly the way to go, since the apples and figs won't be popping up til July and August.

The previous owner put a birdhouse in the center and the tree grew up around it as the birdhouse rotted. It's a big hollow spot in the middle now.

How do you get it pollinated without another apple tree to pollinate it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest thing is probably tomatoes that everyone treats like a vegetable, but even they're a fruit. Plus you get grapes and berries and bananas and oranges and basically any sort of plant that doesn't suck to eat. I guess garlic and onions might be enough to tip it, because they're so vital. But nobody in their right mind is just like chomping on one, and they're not even really vegetables. They're pretty much in their own category as far as i'm concerned. I like Broccoli, Asparagus, Green Peppers, Carrots, Corn*, Tomatoes, Spinach, Lettuce, Green Beans, Peas. Most things Green, Tomatoes, and Carrots.

If you're basing that off a cherry that comes out a can, then you haven't actually had a cherry. I used to have the same opinion. Then at about age 29-30, someone convinced me to eat a fresh cherry. They're basically not the same food. One is gross, one is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just generally do not like the flavor of cherries at all. Canned or not. It's not my cup of tea. No thank you. They aren't objectively bad food, but I do not like them at all.

You didn’t eat a fresh cherry until you were 30? what exactly was going on years 1-29? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
