Description:
Prunus avium 'Rainier' is a sweet yellow cherry variety developed at Washington State University, known for its high sugar content and prolific fruit production. This cherry tree grows to a height of 15-25 feet and a width of 12-18 feet, thriving in USDA zones 5 to 9. It requires full sun, well-drained soil, and 700 chill hours for optimal fruiting. Cross-pollination is necessary for fruit production, and it is a cross between Bing and Van Cherry. The 'Rainier' cherry is celebrated for its sweetness and is a popular choice in the Pacific Northwest.
