Tieton cherry

Tieton is a cultivar of sweet cherry developed in Washington state.

The Tieton cultivar is a hybrid of Stella and Early Burlat, originally developed at Washington State University's Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center (IAREC).

It is recommended to use dwarf rootstocks in order to reduce the tree's vigor and increase its productivity.

[1] The cherries are mahogany-red, very large in size, with very firm texture and mild flavor.

[3] They have very thick stems, which allow the fruit to retain moisture, and therefore a fresh appearance, longer after picking.
