Anyone Here Growing Royal Rainier Cherry in Zone8?

Sweet cherries are tough to grow in the East do you have any experience with sweet cherries? You can do it but it isn’t easy and you probably want to know what you’re up against before you buy a sweet cherry tree. These threads you might find helpful.

Here are some posts on how Royal Rainier does in low chill areas, mainly in California. Also some info on low chill sweet cherries. I added the links below.
