The Rainier cherry tree produces sweet, large, yellow fruit with a red blush. The fruit is firm and the flesh is fine-textured and clear to light yellow. Fans of the Rainier appreciate the creamy-yellow flesh, which gives the blush of the skin a sunny undertone. The sweetness is what keeps them coming back for more. It is a very productive tree that resists cracking, spurs and doubles.
The Rainier requires pollination and is pollinated by the Van, Lambert, Lapins, Black Tartarian and Bing cherry trees. Rainier cherry trees can be held to any height by summer pruning.
