Cherry 'Bing'

Type: Deciduous fruit tree

Size: Achieves a mature height and spread of 15-25 feet, making it a majestic addition to any space that accommodates its growth.

Zone: Thrives in USDA Zones 5-9, demonstrating a versatile adaptability to a range of climate conditions.

Chill Hours Requirement:
The Bing Cherry Tree requires approximately 700-800 chill hours for optimal fruit production, catering to regions with mild to moderate winters.

Bing variety is not self-fertile and requires a pollinator to bear fruit. Ideal pollination partners include the Black Tartarian, Van, Rainier, or Stella cherry trees, ensuring a generous yield of cherries.

Harvest Time:
Anticipate harvesting your Bing cherries in the late spring to early summer, around June, when they reach their peak of deep, burgundy color and sweetness. These cherries are perfect for fresh eating, baking, preserving, or drying.

Planting & Care:

Soil: Prefers deep, well-drained, fertile soil with a neutral pH.
Sunlight: Requires full sun, with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily, to foster strong growth and fruit production.
Watering: Regular watering is crucial, especially during the establishment period and in the growing season, to maintain even soil moisture.
Pruning: Annual pruning in late winter is essential to open the tree’s canopy to sunlight and air circulation, which supports health and productivity.
