  • I currently have the vandalay cherry. What other dark sweet cherry varieties suitable for zone 7 would be a good cross pollinator for the vandalay cherry? Thank you.

    Terhanivee or Black Gold will do well for cross pollination.

  • I purchased and received the 4'-5' dwarf tree and it looks great. Wondering though, how old is the tree that I received?

    3 years old when shipped

Vandalay Cherry Tree's X2
Received two healthy well shaped trees.
They were well packed and had instructions on care & planting. Can't wait to see flowers and fruit in the coming years.
I have to put netting around them to protect from our hungry deer population and will probably have to net the tops to save the fruit from the birds in the future.
Very pleased at this point.
I can't believe the size of the new leaves.

Quality cherry tree from Raintree

The Vandalay Cherry tree arrived well packaged and in good condition. Planted it right away and it seems happy in its spot. Very happy with this purchase.

I bought my tree 4 years ago and it’s now vigorous and healthy! It was at one point just a stick after its first winter but after the second summer it started taking off and we had our first significant crop last year (3 years in).

No cherries this season

Bought two both died. Planted in same area as purchased apple trees and pear trees. Watered and cared for the same. Apple trees and one of two pear trees are fine.

I can't tell. No evidence of leafing out yet. I bought one last year that was delivered in April and it never did leaf out. It obviously died. I hope I have better luck this time.

Scent is out of this world!

I visit my Vandalay Cherry tree several times a when in bloom and inhale deeply it’s intoxicating fragrance. I would grow it just for that. Love the freestone flavorful cherries too!

I LOVE this cherry!!

This cherry is my first to bloom in Spring, and I would grow it even just for the flowers with their intense heady aroma! Several times a day I have to inhale deeply their intoxicating scent when in bloom. The flowers are a teaser of the fruit to come. So good. I Love my Vandalay!
