The timing of the arrival of the ripe cherries in the Picket Fence garden varies pretty greatly. This year they showed up at the busiest time of summer (crazy 4th of July prep week!) and a lot of them came up rather high in the trees. But we still appreciate them! It's nice to be able to wander by the tree and pick a little snack when you get hungry from all the work elsewhere in the yard. We have a several pie and sweet cherry trees. I don't know the varieties - the sweet cherries seem to be too red to be Rainier but not red enough to be Bing. Maybe Bing Cherries get redder in the store.
