Cherry, Rainier
A Rainier cherry tree is a large and vigorous cherry tree that produces golden-yellow cherries with a red blush and a white creamy flesh. It is a cross between the Bing and the Van cherry varieties and was first cultivated in Washington state, where it is named after Mount Rainier. It is a deciduous flowering shrub or small tree with dark green leaves and white flowers. It grows best in full sun or light shade and moist, well-drained soil, and needs some protection from the wind.
Most cherry trees require cross pollination with another variety.
