Fruiting trees cherry, apple, pear, and others like those, require a period of dormancy in order to bear fruit. That dormancy requires temps below a certain point for a specific amount of time in order for the fruit bearing cycle to kick in. Thus, your friends use of misting when the temperature goes above 55 degrees. The fact that they managed to get cherries to grow in an area that is technically too hot for them is impressive.
I thought his varieties are bred to not require as warm of temperatures.
i think it low chill hours like 200 vs 800 for some@@Barakon
The variety of Taste inside a fruit species is astonishing. We have a juice stand here with 22 varieties of Applejuice. The differences of sweetness, grassy notes and acidity are surprisingly discernable and unique.
i went to a London farmers market 3 years ago and a specialised apple grower had over 60 varieties of apples, they said they had even more on there land but couldnt actually fit them in the van to bring to sell etc, plus they had certain vareties for cider brewing and even cooking etc.
its amazing how many different apples you can actually get, i was astonished personally.
I went to a little orchard in eastern Maryland with an older gentleman who was trying to preserves some more of the classic apples that aren’t being sold anymore and crossing apples for new ones. But he had the best sour apples I’ve ever had. He said they were ones he was preserving but as he bred them over the years they got more sour
Ray Neer is how it is pronounced, you had it right the first time lol. It's named after the Mount Rainier area in Washington, where they are most likely from!!
Bred by Washington State University
Rainiers are my FAV. I can only eat a handful of Bings before they bother my throat, but I can eat pounds of Rainiers all day long. Fantastic flavor, and pretty to boot
THICC cherries
Rainier are the best cherries out there and those look wonderful
It's insane that he puts all of that effort into growing these cherries in a warmer area. They must be good...
😂what?
Cherries don't usually fruit well in hotter climates like California. They need to go through a dormancy phase in winter to produce a lot of flowers (and fruits as a result)
@@SamiZouad15 which is why this whole video is garbage marketing for his dumb friend who wears a dumb hat in every video in the past.
This isn't truth in marketing- it's a guy who gained a RUclips following putting his friend over to get more viewers even though EVERYONE knows Ranier cherries are the best.
Go back through this guy's videos. You'll see his fat buddy with the dumb hat all over the place.
Consider your source.
I see you, you wannabe RUclips star.
I live in the Pacific Northwest and Rainier cherries are the bees knees when it comes to snacking! They have the best firm texture, delicate flavor and are so very juicy without being too acidic on sensitive tummies. The kid friendly factor is also a plus cause you dont have to worry about stained faces or clothes.
My mouth is watering, love some cherries!
pretty surprised that someone with so much fruit experience has never heard of rainier cherries! They're pretty incredible.
Have you interviewed Steven about his farm and growing practices?
Next time I see him, I plan on doing an interview with him
Rainier is pronounced as: Ray-Near. My favorite cherries !!!
They grow in the State of Washington. Many farms around the Mt. Rainier region.
Farmers end up losing about a third of their crop to birds picking them off the trees and gobbling them up. 🤓
I love love love cherries. I'll buy a pound at the supermarket and eat them in one sitting and Muscadines too. It's almost time! I can't wait!
Rain ear is how is pronounced. Also me and the wife were laughing, because those are our normal cherries here in Washington. A dark red sweet, and Rainiers.
Yep! I was like...those are just normal cherries hehe
Russians make a distinction between the usual sour and soft cherries (vishnya) and the firmer and sweeter cherries (chereshnya). Those look like the latter, just supersized.
Interesting!
we do too in austria. it's "weichsel" for the sour ones and "kirsche" for the normal sweet cherries.
Prunus avium is the sweet cherry. P. cerasus is the pie cherry, though it isn't sold much in America because urbanites seem to have forgotten how to cook. (Cooked avium varieties available in the US lose their flavor and end up tasting more like plums than cherries.)
Same in Lithuania, vyšnia and trešnė.
Cherries, yum, love them so much, always have. 🍒 💚❤️
Rainier cherries are BIG treat here in Washington state. Deliciously juicy but super expensive if you don't pick them up from a roadside fruit stand!
Hi Jared,
I once tasted bright yellow cherries from a huge tree on a private property in germany that were f...... great.
but I don't know the variety
Maybe Steven will know. Sounds good!
Sweet or sour?
If sweet I've had this variety in Europe
www.seeds-gallery.shop/en/home/yellow-sweet-cherry-seeds-prunus-avium.html
Yellow cherries might be Ranier cherries?
They were sweet and tasted great. the tree was about 20 meters in height, really huge, standing alone insidew a plant property I worked in. we asked and were allowed to pick as much as we could get, but needed to step on top of our truck to harvest them
I wonder if the juice would make a nice wine...
Cherries are very hard to find down in Colombia, but when I can get them, I love to eat them by themselves.
They just grow in the streets here. I love to eat them by themselves too!
Capulins should grow, though I realize those are really a domesticated (& subtropical subspecies of) bird/timber cherry (Prunus serotina) and aren't the same. Can you grow grumichama? I've heard those are a similar flavored tropical replacement.
Thank you for the information on Steven’s farm!!!
There's a plant growth regulator known as Dormex that was developed at the University of Florida that is used in a similar way to break dormancy of blueberries in the Florida industry so that they can produce fruit with less chilling. I wonder if this could be applied to cherries...
Dormex does not substitute for inadequate chilling, it is used for more uniform bud break(so all flowers open about the same time) with marginal chilling or where the transition period is not well defined. And it is labeled for use on cherries.
If used where it is not needed or without extra bee hives it can reduce pollination because the with all the flowers open at once the bees may not be able to visit all them.
I love Ranier cherries as a whole, so these souped up ones might be my favorites ever.
They look so good! 🤤
Dude Steven is my favorite!
I first had Rainier cherries, in the 1980's, and instantly loved them! We used to have a guy, who basically had a whole store in a large van, who came down our street every day. He sold everything from lunchmeat in a refrigerated case to canned food to fresh fruit and sometimes even houseplants. It was literally like having a store, that came to your house every day. That's where I first bought Rainier cherries.
I’m very impressed by your dedication to fruit
Damn, those cherries are basically plums!! They’re huge and look delectable
Have you tried the “Razz” blueberries? They’re supposed to taste like raspberries.
No! I have had the lemonade ones.. time to go to the next level.
Mix em up and have a razzle-berry-lemonade!
Ranier cherries are THE BOMB, BABY!!! The dark ones remind me of Bing and Black Tartarian together. Save those seeds and plant them , they're special cherries !
I wish Steven had a RUclips channel, I’m majoring in agriculture and I love watching unique product growers :o(
Bing and Ranier are excellent choices.
I love everyone of your videos keep it up!
Those GG1's look like a type that grew behind my school, they were delicious and a very very similar taste to what you described, just a little hint of berry.
Rainier cherries (ray-neer, like the mountain in Washington) are absolutely a thing, I love them.
They look good!
I like a cherry that stomps you in the face with flavor! Sounds good to me!
Rainier cherries are great! Jealous you get to try these, even the normal variety is delightful.
Now that’s pretty epic
The Black Tartarian cherry is the best one I've tasted, sounds like your friend is cornering the early market to get the best price. Very smart!
As a Belgian with a cherry addiction: 🤤🤤🤤🤤 One of our traditional dishes is meatloaf with prepared sour cherries on the side, so good. The pale ones you showed, we have a variety we call "witbuikkers" which means white belly cherry 😁
Jared, when you react strongly to nice tasting fruit, then I know it REALLY IS good.
Well, i know where i'm going tomorrow! He has a farmers market stand in my town, so i'll go try these cherries!
Black cherries are my favourite and the French whiteish cherries .cherries are a gift from the heavens and the amazing farmers xox
California cherries Are So Good this year! Intense candy like flavors!!
Cherries are a Christmas time fruit here in Australia. It's normal to go up to the orchard and pick your own. They normally have 4-5 varieties to pick from, the dark ones are more common.
I want some of those cherries omg!
As you're in NYC, have you ever tried the fruit from Red Jacket Orchard? Their tart cherry stomp is delicious.
I would love for you to visit his farm and video it for us
I would love more farm videos in general and watch you eat fruit off the tree!
I did! There's a ton of videos from his farm. I don't know what episode numbers, but should be in the 200s.
Story time. A local grocery store sold imported cherries. Damn, I was desperate to try so I purchased even tho they costed $10USD. It was bland... I dunno. It was the same dark purple colour. It was juicy but it was underwhelming.
Fast forward, we visited Taipei and the moment I saw cherries, I asked mum to buy us some! Same dark purple colur, juicy and underwhelmingly bland... oh man... I'm very surprised the cherries you're trying out look delicious. I'm jealous. Same with strawberries oh my god, they're bland and very sour! What the heck :(
The best cherries in my opinion are wild cherries. (I'm from South-Eastern Europe, btw, I don't know about the American varieties.) Now, you never know what you gonna get: bland, sweet or bitter; the best ones are the combination of tastes and a whole lot of concentrated cherry flavour. They are tiny though, the size of blueberry with pretty large pit. I know a couple of pretty good trees, and a few terrible ones, and they are often side by side.
@@lemmypop1300 sounds similar to wild cherries I found wandering Poland with a friend. Not blueberry small but much smaller than ones we get in Ireland.
Supermarket strawberries have to be the single most regrettable fruit to be commercialized. We’d always go strawberry picking when I grew up in Oregon and as an adult I made the mistake of buying a package from the store. Never again.
@@lemmypop1300 ..I know where a few trees like that are. I didn't care to try them before, but now I must.
You'll want to try a farmer's market or someone local for those. Cherries and strawberries do best when picked ripe and don't keep.
I used to have a Rainier cherry tree in my yard. They were tasty but not nearly as large or beautiful as the ones in your video. I’ll have to check his site and see if I can order some. Btw I looked it up to be sure the pronunciation follows: (/reɪˈnɪər/ ray-NEER)
...we have cherries now..were available about a week ago.,,,,,
Thicc cherries, yum lol
Trader Joe's had cherries a week ago and they were AMAZING!
We have some really amazing cherry grown in pakistan, that match the flavour and visual appearance of the G.G1 cherries you show here, have to say they most definitely are amazing! ( I'm going to go do some research on those now through, I've always been taking this amazing cherry variety for granted, and now i hear it may be very exclusive in America, maybe the G.G1 is somehow different from what we grow here, and I'd like to know more about cherries in general, so I'll go find out ... thank you for inspiring this hunt ! )
Im a local their stuffs awesome highly recommend it. once covid is over hopefully they open back up for the self pick.
These types of cherry (or something very similar) are very popular here in Italy too, the dark ones being much easier to find than the yellows. They're both grouped under the "Durone" grouping (which kind of evokes crispness, crunchiness), and some cherries very very close to the dark ones are widely sold here, in every market, just in these weeks throughout June, under the name "Durone di Vignola" or "Durone Ferrovia" . They're pretty expensive if in good quality, which means big size, very fresh, and perfectly ripe. They're just awesome, and what most counts to me, is that with these cherries you know that you can easily find in markets just as good ones as you can harvest directly from the tree (if you pay enough, of course)... which is definitely not possible with some other fruits, like for example apricots.
HOLY SHIT! I'm literally researching Rainer cherries because I bought Rainer cherry jam at Murray Family Farms this week. I also got white peach and strawberry jams...3/$20 and worth every penny. I haven't popped the Rainer yet.
Those are huge and look delicious, a lot different from the little tart choke cherries that I like forage.
Great video!
Thanks!
A good variety of stone fruits and others require a nice cool dormancy period which makes more temperate regions worth a shake when it comes to fruits. Brambles and berries also enjoy a nice bed-time cooling-- and you can't hardly buy black raspberries anywhere
It’s funny that these 2 types of cherries in the thumbnail I have them on my backyard
I love Rainier cherries! It’s pronounced “ray-neer.” Thanks for so many videos! Love them all!
You should come to france in may next year, theres tons of different cherry varieties to try out, they're the best when you eat them in the tree ;)
Nice just got a 4 grafted cherry tree here in Southern California got in the mail today it’s 5 feet tall I love it can’t wait. They varieties are
-lapis
-van
-royal ann
-bing
Most stone fruits have a chilling requirement. If the tree doesn't get enough hours of cold it comes out of dormancy too soon and the fruit if there is any is dried up and inedible. Your friend Steven is very clever. The next time you are in California film his farm. I am sure we all could learn a lot from his cultural practices.
We usually go over the mountains to Wenatchee to pick cherries, don't think I have had them from a supermarket.😁
You've never heard of Rainier cherries? They're literally EVERYWHERE in the PNW during summer, it's almost impossible *not* to find them
Sometimes you'll pass two separate stands within a half mile of each other
Rain-ear is my favorite they are like tiny peaches I buy them till they gone every year from michigan
Nice looking fruit. Alas I don't eat cherries. Mostly because if they taste like cherry flavored cough syrup I want nothing to do with them.
Smarter everyday is a super patreon? Who’d a guessed it!
He's been supporting for a long time now. Really nice guy.
Rainer Cherries are pronounced the same way as Mount Ranier in the Pacific Northwest.
Chilling hours are the number of hours during the Winter that the temperature drops below 45 F but above 32 F. Many varieties of fruit tree must get a minimum number of Winter Chilling hours in order to produce fruit in the Spring, some as little as 100 hours (most Figs), some as many as 900 hours (some Apples like Macintosh) and some even higher. Misting causes evaporative cooling giving trees at Murray Farms extra chilling hours even though they are in a moderate California climate . . . clever.
To explain the part about the mist basically cherries and a lot of other plants need what they call chill hours. This is when the temperature gets under something like 45 degrees for 1 hour. Somewhere like Colorado will not need to worry about chill hours but somewhere like California or Florida will. A example of chill hours is the pink lemonade high bush you tried will need 200 chill hours because it is a rabbiteye but something like a pink popcorn or some other high bush variety will need 800-1000 chill hours. This means you can go the pink lemonade in a place the is a lot hotter and only has a few cold days while you need to live somewhere where it is cold for a lot of high bush varieties. To explain early growing that means it will grow food early on in the season. If you want to cross pollinate (and a lot of bushes and trees you do) you will want to have another early to mid season variety. It also matters if it is early or late season because early and late season varieties are more likely to have their flowers frozen off from a late or early freeze depending on your state.
Great vid, after this pandemic is over you should lookout for a breadfruit cousin thats sweet called pedalai
Rainier cherry are named after mount Rainier in Washington state. Great taste.
Actually, cherries have been available here in SoCal since April and have now gone on sale for $1.99 lb.! (I bought lots 🙃)
We have royal raineers in WA
I'm really looking forward to the 'Interview with a Fruit Wizard' episode.
I almost bought cherries earlier today at Trader Joes!!!
Can you try black cap (white bark) raspberries which are responsible for the blue raspberry flavor?
I've been watching way too many of these. Had exotic dreams about you
It's pronounced Rain-eer! :) named after Mount Rainier in Western WA state. I live here and always pick these up when they're in season every year.
The misting causes evaporative cooling dropping the temperature , this explanation is in degrees Celsius/Kelvin people from backwards countries using other units can do the conversion themselves.
you have such a wildly different social circle and life than most people I know
Sad that i'm allergic to cherries, those look real tasty!
Oh really? do other related fruits affect you? plums, peaches, etc..
@@WeirdExplorer A little bit, yes. But it's not like i'll die if I eat them, wich is good 😀
As a French looking at the thumbnail, I was thinking "is he gonna taste griottes?" then you present that plate of cherries and I thought "must be Napoleon or Coeur de pigeon, and griottes". Then no, these are US cherries. I was salivating at the dark cherries, remembering last time I had a griotte cherry jam made by Comtes de Provence. Darn, that was the best jam I ever had, and I hate jam because I hate the sweetness. But I could have spoon that cherry jam and eat it alone, it was so good, a nice balance of sourness and sweetness. Oh, how I wish I could get again my hands on that jam again. Comtes de Provence only make them seasonally. I also regret never having tasted their Caramel au beurre salé jam. I have an allergy to milk now. I get into anaphylactic shock if I ingest any animal milk. So much regret. Their Caramel au beurre salé has received plenty national and international awards. I can only make vegan caramel to comfort myself from the loss. Ooooohhh, some sour griotte cherries drizzled with caramel au vegan beurre salé...Mmmmm , that's an idea.
That's "Rain - Ear", just like the Mountain or The Beer :-P
does anyone else just get stoned and watch this dude
Aye now that you’ve tried GG #1 try GG #4 😂
i need to see kitty!!!!!!!!!!!!
@nakrul987: I'll take "Out-of-Context Phrases That Sound Like Porn Dialogue" for $800, Alex.
@@sdfkjgh , Lol! 🤣
Sounds like the Mountian. Mt Ranier
yeah! cherries theyre my favorite. i am finding rainers in the grocery store right now. they really are my favorite. i always splurge the like 10$ a pound for them. omg CHERRRRRIES
HATE YOU MURRAY! Why you growing in cali where i cant get ahold of dem cherries!!!
I'm jealous. I used to snack on cherries from someone's tree on my way home from middle school. But my only experience with dark cherries is jello, which I'm sure is a pathetic substitute for those beauties Stephen grows.
Here in Italy this is the cherry season..
do you have sour cherries in the usa? i prefer them towards sweet ones
Gino Feretti yes we do!
Not common, but they sometimes show up at farmers markets. I have a review of them.. though I found those in Canada: ruclips.net/video/I5eSJlQR1co/видео.html
@@WeirdExplorer thx, i just watched it. they look the same as in germany.
I have seen them frozen in Wisconsin, but not often in Chicago (where people no longer cook?). If you are in the right climate, it may be best to grow your own. The newer Saskatchewan hybrid cherries (P. x-kerassis), hybrids of sour cherry and Mongolian ground cherry (P. fruticosa) stay shrub like and convenient for harvest without ladders.
have you tried cherry plums were the crossed cherries and plums there are many varieties at One Green world online, Rainer is pronounced like mt Rainier in washington state
Is that even possible? I’ve never heard of such a thing
No! I would like to though. It would be fun to do a series of episodes on all the pluots, apriums, plumerries etc..
@@MaxOakland they even have 3 way cross,s now called a peacotum , (peach, apricot and plum) they tweek with the genes
There are patented cherry plum crosses but there are also natural species that have the common name of cherry-plums (not sure if this is synonymous with "mirabelle"). There are several separate species of plums and cherries, some combinations cross some don't. I think the cherries are usually crossed with Japanese plums and maybe American or beech plums, I recall European plums don't cross with Japanese plums or either major cherry specie.
@@MaxOakland Technically, they are plum X Prunus pumila (Besseyi cherry, prairie sand cherry), which is technically a microplum, not a true cherry of the avium or cerasus type. Sand cherries are susceptible to cherry X virus, but allowed some fruit to grow on the northern plains, which is too continental (bitter cold, windy winters) for most European fruits.
Do these cherries not have a pit in them, or have they already been removed?
I’m so intrigued by those dark colored cherries!
God, just looking at the cherries made me 🤤🍒
Can you please let me know where to buy these 2 exact cherry trees?
I never had fresh cherries. The one I've had was those packed in jars with syrup. They just taste sweet and uninteresting and they're small too. These ones look appetizing.
When did you record this video? You said that it's not cherry season, but I've been seeing them everywhere right now here in FL.
They're at all the stores now. I have some from last week, I didn't finish those and I have more this week. And I wasn't panic cherry buying.
