One of the parent varieties, 2N-60-7, was a hybrid of Van and Stella, while the other parent, 2N-38-32, [1] was a hybrid of Bing and Stella. [2] It was developed in Summerland, British Columbia at the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre , for the purpose of providing a high-quality late-season cherry that matures about 14-16 days after Van.
Bing cherries are used almost exclusively for fresh market. Bings are large, dark and firm cherries that ship well, but will crack open if exposed to rain near harvest. [1] A dry-summer climate is required for the harvest of the Bing cherry, making them especially well adapted to the climates of the Pacific Northwest and California.
The Chelan cherry tree grows in USDA Zone 5, [3] and is self-incompatible. [4] It is a vigorous and early-bearing tree; with the fruit ripening about 10-12 days earlier than Bing cherries, [1] it is the earliest of the sweet cherries grown in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. [5]

Royal Ann cherries are fleshy stone fruits [5] similar in size to most cherry varieties, and are yellow to light pink colored. [6] Royal Ann fruits are often mistaken for Rainier cherries because of their similar appearance and taste. [2] Trees produce fruit within 1–3 years after planting and are considered fully mature around 8 years old. [2]
Mature Rainier trees reach a height of 30 to 35 feet and are widely adaptable to various soil types. Trees should be well spaced to provide maximum sun exposure for individual branches, ensuring fully developed, sweet, ripe fruit at harvest time. Rainiers will produce fruit in 3 to 5 years, with a bloom period in early April.
