Sweet Cherry 'Rainier' 7 Gallon

Prunus avium

Large yellow cherries with a red blush suitable for pies, juice and eating fresh. Very flavorful. Pollinate with 'Van', 'Bing' or 'Montmorency'. Blooms white in the spring and fruit ripens in early June. Plant in well-drained, amended soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water once a week the first year. Prune in late winter to control size and form or after flowering. Remove dead or damaged stems at any time. Feed at least twice during the growing season with a slow release fertilizer in early spring and again mid-summer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2" to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
