WENATCHEE, Wash. – Stemilt began harvesting and packing Skylar Rae® brand Tip Top cultivar cherries early this week.
“The crop is projected to have good sizing, great quality, high sugar levels and of course, World Famous flavor,” explains Brianna Shales, marketing director. “We already have consumers contacting us, asking when they they’re available, so we know cherry lovers are getting excited.”
“This year, retailers can expect to start loading around June 7 with the first and largest peak starting in mid-June, she said.” The season for this variety should continue in early July.
Stemilt will be packing Skylar Rae® cherries on its hybrid cherry line that is designed for light colored cherry varieties. With more cushion and a slower run time, Stemilt ensures quality is not sacrificed during the packing process.
“Skylar Rae® cherries are an anomaly and such a tasty summer treat,” states Shales. “We are excited to bring this cherry back into the produce spotlight this summer and continue on our mission of delighting consumers through excellence with Skylar Rae® cherries through the month of June and into the early part of July.”
