Q.Can Two Rainier Cherry Trees Pollinate Themselves?
I want to plant some rainier cherry trees, I know they need to be pollinated. My question is-will pollination take place with two rainier cherry trees? Or do I need to have a different variety cherry tree to pollinate the Rainier? I don’t really like any other cherries, so if possible I would like to avoid having a fruit tree that bears fruit I don’t want. Does that make sense? But if its all a means to delicious Rainier cherries, I certainly don’t mind. The neighbors can eat the other cherries, right? Thanks for your time.

No, you need Black Tartarian, Sam or Stella cherry varieties for pollination. Here is more:
