The Sweetest Cherry You’ll Ever Eat

Meet Skylar Rae^® brand Tip Top cherries, the sweetest cherry you’ll ever eat. This unique new cherry variety is an exclusive at Stemilt. This cultivar was discovered growing by chance on a tree at the Toftness family’s Tip Top Orchards in Wenatchee, Washington back in 2004. Usually these chance discoveries are not viable for commercial production, but this was no ordinary cherry. It had unique genetics and produced a beautiful bi-colored cherry with incredible firmness and overwhelming sweetness.

Beyond the super-sweet flavor and crisp bite found in every Skylar Rae^® cherry is the memory of the beloved daughter of Troy and Kim Toftness, who passed away as an infant just before this special cherry was discovered. The trademark name for this cherry honors Skylar Rae.
