Found this info for you:
__________
Royal Rainier a new red-blushed "white" variety from Zaiger; large, firm, yellow cherry with very good to excellent quality that ripens ahead of Rainier, holds well on tree, pollenizer required - cross compatible with Bing (U.S. Plant Patent # 10790)
Bing The leading commercial sweet cherry in North America. Large, firm, juicy, dark red, excellent quality fruit; the standard of quality for California's shipping cherry industry; spurs and doubles in hotter parts of Central Valley; midseason harvest, pollenizer required
Rainier large, yellow cherry; firm fruit with with red blush and very good quality; clear to light yellow flesh. Delicately flavored with extraordinary sugar levels, the flesh is pure yellow, very firm and finely textured. A premium niche variety that ripens after Bing. Considered a good Bing pollenizer. Vigorous, upright, spreading tree. Early bearing. Very productive. Needs a pollenizer.
______
That might explain why there is a "normal" cherry tree nearby too, as it needs it to pollenate the yellow one.
Hope this helps!
Queen ann if a yellow cherry with a red blush. It is the same size as a bing cherry.
It is possible that it is a royal rainier cherry.
it is cross compatible with the bing cherry.
my guess it should be ok.
Yes, yellow cherries are quite tasty. Any berry that grows naturally in you own yard should be safe to eat.
