Rainier Cherry Tree

The potted Rainier Cherry tree is a popular fruit tree that is beloved by many gardeners for its sweet and delicious fruit. This semi-dwarf sized variety produces beautiful white and red fruit. The fruit of the Rainier Cherry tree is known for its juicy and sweet flavor, with a hint of tartness. The cherries are typically larger than other varieties, with a golden yellow skin and bright red blush. They are often used in baking, preserves, and as a delicious snack on their own.

To ensure proper pollination and maximum fruit yield, the Rainier Cherry tree requires cross-pollination from another cherry tree. The ideal pollinators for the Rainier Cherry tree are the Bing Cherry or the Stella Cherry, which bloom at the same time and are compatible with the Rainier.

The history of the Rainier Cherry tree dates back to the 1950s when it was first developed by researchers at Washington State University. The tree was named after nearby Mount Rainier and was quickly adopted by farmers and gardeners for its exceptional flavor and large, attractive fruit. A fun fact about the Rainier Cherry tree is that it was originally developed as a cross between the Bing and Van cherry varieties. The researchers who created the tree hoped to combine the best traits of each variety, resulting in the delicious and beautiful Rainier Cherry. If you're looking to add a delicious and visually stunning fruit tree to your garden, the Rainier Cherry tree is an excellent choice.
