Finally Rainier cherries!

Last year my Rainier cherry never ripened a single fruit. So I bought it a friend. A Lapin cherry to help pollinate it. Well it was a great investment because this year I got to taste some home grown cherries and it was Dee Liscious!

After being ravaged by a some critters last yr. I've been protecting my fruit with fruit nets. It may seem a little too paranoid and over protective but it's not without cause. My Persimmon tree last fall was completely wiped out.

There were only a couple dozen on this tree and that is barely enough to feed me and Nolan. =)

Here's a pollinator chart in case you're wondering what trees to get.

Wild Cherries - Yuck

I ran across a wild cherry tree on my jog and decided I had to try it. Well it wasn't ripe and I couldn't keep it down. Regardless, I love running into fruit trees "in the wild" lol.

Which gave me an idea. I may just plant a whole bunch of fig trees in areas where I frequently run so that in the years to come it will feed others who come across it.
