Prunus avium 'Bing'
Renowned as the gold standard of cherry trees, the Bing Cherry is one of the most popular and widely grown varieties. Once mature, it can be a heavy producer—yielding up to 50–100 lbs. of cherries per year on a standard tree.
Produces large, heart-shaped cherries with firm, meaty, purplish-red flesh
Semi-free stone makes it perfect for fresh eating or preserves
Mid-June to mid-summer harvest with consistently ripe fruit
Early spring blooms with clusters of fragrant white flowers
Begins producing fruit in 5–6 years (standard tree)
Requires a pollinator—we recommend pairing with Montmorency for best results
Grows in a rounded shape
Ideal for home orchards, the Bing Cherry offers both beauty and a delicious summer harvest.
