Varieties such as Corals and Brooks start the season off, which then transitions into the harvest of Tulares. Bings, the premier cherry variety, is a heartshaped, dark cherry with exceptional flavor and brings the short six-week California season to its grand finale. We then transition into Washington - while most Washington varieties are marketed as "Dark Sweet" or Bing -there are many varieties of red cherries. Other varieties have been developed to increase the length of the season by being earlier or later than Bings. Washington cherry season will will last into late July.
