cherry blush

Rainier ( ray-NEER) is a cultivar of cherry. It was developed in 1952 at Washington State University by Harold Fogle, and named after Mount Rainier. It is a cross between the 'Bing' and 'Van' cultivars.'Rainiers' are considered a premium type of cherry. They are sweet with a thin skin and thick creamy-yellow flesh. The cherries are very sensitive to temperature, wind, and rain, and the flesh is generally more watery than other varieties of sweet cherries. About 1/3 of a 'Rainier' cherry orchard's crop is eaten by birds.
