Thank you. My rainier cherry tree is very large tree now. We get about 3-4 gallons of cherries yearly but the squirrels love them and they pretty much eat them all. We end up with about maybe 50 cherries by the time the animals are done with them.

These are called Carmine Jewel Cherries. They are bushes and dwarf variety so will not grow large. They are a bit tart in taste compared to other cherries but they are great for making pies and cobblers. Here is the video when we first got these plants kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a6x9hKmTkpjDpYE.html

And we are in zone 4B - Chicago Illinois

​@kimuseni I've recently learned that if picked while red color they are not completely ripe and I should wait until a deep purple for best flavor. Maybe that will help with the tartness a bit.

I have not pruned these bushes yet as I want them to fill in more. Maybe next year. Also, the cuttings easily propagates incase you want to grow more. I just cut a few branches in the spring and just stick them on the ground and they grow

@@kimuseni awesome! I will definitely try propagating mine too once they get established and bigger. Thanks for the tip :)

We bought the bushes in summer 2019 and they produced cherries the following year. Here is the video when we first got them kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a6x9hKmTkpjDpYE.html
