CALIFORNIA & NORTHWEST CHERRIES ARROW-CIRCLE-RIGHT California cherries are the season’s first cherries — the short California cherry season begins in mid-April and typically lasts into early June. Northwest cherry season lasts from the first week of June through the end of August. Look for deep, mahogany-red Bing cherries, which are firm and juicy. Large Rainier cherries are yellow with a red blush. And heart-shaped Sweetheart cherries are firm, with a mild sweet flavor.
