The listing, RAINIER (WHITE CHERRYSEED)1SEED has ended.

Rainier (pronounced: /reɪˈnɪər/ - ray-NEAR) 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.[1]

Rainiers are sweet cherries with a thin skin and thick creamy-yellow flesh. The cherries are very sensitive to temperature, wind, and rain. About 1/3 of a Rainier cherry orchard's crop is eaten by birds.[2]

Rainiers are considered a premium type of cherry, and sell for $2 to $7 per pound or more in the USA. However, more recently, when they are in season, they normally cost 3 to 5 dollars per pound in the USA
