Dark Sweet

The Northwest dark sweet cherry category includes several standout varieties—including Bing, Sweetheart, Coral, Skeena, Lapin, and Chelan—each with unique traits suited to different growing regions and harvest windows. What they all share is a richly sweet flavor and firm, juicy bite that makes them a summer favorite.

Having varieties of Dark Sweet cherries across the season means they stay fresh and flavorful from orchard to table. Deep red and full of character, they’re often called the diamonds of summer. For a colorful twist, pair them with golden Rainier cherries to brighten up any summer spread.
