I tried Skylar Rae cherries yesterday, which have been available at Canadian Costco and Longo’s, a grocery store chain located in the Greater Toronto area and Golden Horseshoe.
I purchased mine at Sunripe, a small market in London, ON and Sarnia.
These Skylar Rae cherries are genetically distinct from Rainier cherries. My Skylar Rae cherries were nice and firm. I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference from Rainier cherries, by their taste or look. I didn’t find this batch any sweeter than Bing cherries or Rainier cherries. Sweetness could vary depending on heat units and other growing conditions.
They’re nice cherries. This batch was not any nicer than cheaper red sweet cherries, or Rainier cherries.
