Craig's Crimson is a self pollinating sweet cherry, this means it does not need another tree. I have one in my back yard and it produces the best tasting cherries I ever had. The birds cleaned me out last year, ate all of them, hot tip Hang mylar strips on tree, when they flutter in the breeze, I am told the tree looks like it is on fire to the birds.

Fairly certain if the 4 in one tree has strains that can pollinate each other, you should be all good. I have heard that those 4 in one trees sometimes lose part and grow into a single strain tree. Now for some bad news....













many nectarines need another nectarine or peach to produce, sorry dude

Spray with the copper based fungicide three times a year, cherries are prone to borers here in norcal, keep that in mind too
