Cherry Picking at Leona Valley

June 15, 2008

It’s my first time to pick cherries at a farm :D and it was a hot sweet cherry day *lol*

These are the varieties of cherries at the farm:

Early Burlat
“Burlat is an early variety, arriving to the markets in May, and has a very sweet flavor. It is a large, firm, red meaty fruit of excellent quality. Ripens in June. Semi-dwarf or dwarf.”

Brooks
“Large, uniform, oblate, dark red fruit. Flesh is firm and crisp with variable shades of red and pink. The stone is nearly free. Flavor is superior to Early Burlat and is sweet, rich, well-balanced, and exceptional for early season maturity.”

Bing
“The leading commercial sweet cherry in North America. Fruit is firm, juicy and a deep, mahogany red when ripe. Exceptionally large fruit of finest quality, with an intensely sweet, vibrant flavor. Bing has become the standard to which other varieties are compared.”

Rainier
“A very attractive, exceptionally large, yellow cherry with a bright red blush. Rainier has a distinctive and superior appearance among sweet cherry varieties. Delicately flavored with extraordinary sugar levels, the flesh is pure yellow, very firm and finely textured. A premium niche variety that ripens after Bing.”
