| Description |
The Bing Cherry is a cultivar of the wild sweet cherry, Prunus avium, that produces large, heart-shaped, dark red fruit with firm, meaty, purplish-red flesh. The trees are available in dwarf and standard sizes. Standard trees bear fruit 5-6 years after planting, dwarf trees will bear fruit 1-3 years earlier. Plant 2-3 trees with the same bloom time for cross-pollination. Bing Cherries require a dry-summer climate for optimum harvest. Thinning is not necessary. Trees should be pruned in late winter.
