QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • Is it too late to have one shipped this year to put in the ground? I live in north Idaho.

    Yes, we will ship the next batch in the spring. Bareroot trees like this cannot be stored over the summer.

  • Is this container friendly ?

    Not particularly. After about 5 years it will need repotted.

  • What size is the tree being mailed to me?

    This tree is 4'-5' tall at shipping time.

    White!

Awesome Cherries

We planted our sapling in Albany, CA in Jan 2017 and got our first harvest in 2023 — about 15 mature cherries. Fruit quality was awesome: super dark and sweet! This year (2024) the tree only produced 2 cherries total, spending more energy on vegetative growth. Tree is about 8 ft tall now. Looking forward to a bigger harvest next year!

Great shipment!

Arrived in good shape. It's in the ground and I can see buds coming to life. I have no idea if it will blossom this year it is 4 ft tall but needs to branch out.

Super Pleased!

Our tree arrived in good condition. Within the first two days of planting it we were already seeing buds form and others begin to open. Will definitely use Raintree Nursery again!
