Varieties

  • CHELAN ~ The leading early-ripening sweet cherry of the Pacific Northwest. Fruit ripens two weeks ahead of Bing, yet resembles Bing with firm, round, heart-shaped fruit of good size. The best deep, mahogany red cherry before Bing and less susceptible to rain-cracking.
  • TIETON TM ~ USPPAF Extraordinarily large in size, with excellent firmness and a mild sweet flavor. TietonTM is an early-season mahogany red cherry, ripening one week before Bing. The impressive size, attractively glossy fruit, and thick green stems produce a visually stunning fruit for premium displays.
  • BING ~ The leading commercial sweet cherry in North America. Fruit is firm, juicy and a deep, mahogany red when ripe. Exceptionally large fruit of finest quality, with an intensely sweet, vibrant flavor. Bing has become the standard to which other varieties are compared.
  • RAINIER ~ A very attractive, exceptionally large, yellow cherry with a bright red blush. Rainier has a distinctive and superior appearance among sweet cherry varieties. Delicately flavored with extraordinary sugar levels, the flesh is pure yellow, very firm and finely textured. A premium niche variety that ripens after Bing.
  • LAPINS ~ A large, highly crack-resistant, mahogany red cherry that is rapidly replacing the late-season variety Lambert. Lapins matures ten days to two weeks after Bing, exhibiting excellent firmness and flavor. As with all Northwest Cherries, Lapins creates a beautiful display.
  • SKEENA TM ~ Large, very firm and sweet, Skeena* continues to grow in popularity with consumers and growers. Maturing about 16 days after Bing, this dark red to almost black variety has a very dense texture. A great late-season variety which will keep you in cherries until the end of July.
  • SWEETHEART ~ A large, bright red cherry maturing one week to ten days after Lapins (3 weeks after Bing). SweetheartTM has a mild, sweet flavor and outstanding firmness. This heart- shaped cherry ships extremely well, and will keep your late July and August cherry displays full.
