A couple of years back I bought my husband 2 cherry trees. One was a Ranier and the other was a Bing. I was told we needed 2 trees for pollination. Well, needless to say one did not make it and we do not know which it was The neighbor down the street has a cherry (don't know what kind) and the little old lady across the street has a pie cherry tree. Will either one of these pollinate our tree or do I have to find another compatible tree?
According to flowerworldusa.com, not all sweet cherries will pollinate each other. They have this chart http://www.flowerworldusa.com/charts/Po ... Cherry.pdf which may help. Sour cherries wont pollinate sweet and vice versa, so if either of your neighbors trees are sour (and according to them, pie cherries are sour), that wont help.
Awesome Jen!! That is exactly what I needed! I can take that with me to the nursery!! I didn't realize there were so many varieties
No problem, Im happy I could help I would love to grow cherries, but I have no idea where we would put 2 of em o.o
