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.

  • What color are the blooms?

    White!

Off to a great start!

First time tree grower and decided for the Craig's Crimson Cherry tree. The tree arrived well packed and once the tree was planted, soon after leaves began sprouting. The tree looks great after five days. Great purchase! Waiting the Red Silk Pomegranate to arrive in a couple of days. Thank you RAINTREE!

Healthy young tree

Craig's Crimson arrived in great shape and had 3 well spaced branches. This was my first order from Raintree, but included currants, another cherry, and grapes, all of which are excellent specimens. I will look first to Raintree in the future when I want to add more fruit!

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!
