About this tree

The Bing Cherry is the gold standard for sweet cherries, producing large, firm, deep-red fruit with rich, classic flavor. This tree grows to 15-18 ft. tall and 12-15 ft. wide and is hardy across USDA zones 5-8, with fragrant white blossoms in spring. It needs a compatible sweet cherry pollinator nearby and full sun with well-drained soil to set a heavy crop. Plant in an open, sunny spot and look forward to bowls of homegrown cherries in early summer.

Full planting & care

Planting+

Choose a spot with full sun and loamy, well drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, set the tree so the top of the root ball is level with the ground, backfill, and water in well. Space about 15 ft. - 18 ft. from other plants.

Watering+

Water deeply about once a week while it establishes, then ease off as roots take hold.

Fertilizing+

Feed in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer formulated for trees and shrubs. A second light feeding in early summer supports vigorous growth. Avoid fertilizing late in the season.

Pruning+

Prune in late winter while dormant to remove any dead or crossing branches and to shape. Minimal pruning is needed otherwise.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a second cherry tree?+

Yes. Bing is not self-fertile and needs a compatible sweet cherry variety such as Rainier or Black Tartarian nearby for pollination.

When do the cherries ripen?+

Sweet cherries ripen in early summer following spring bloom.

How tall does it grow?+

It matures to about 15-18 ft. tall, and can be kept shorter with summer pruning for easier harvest.

What zones does it grow in?+

Bing performs best in USDA zones 5 through 8 where it gets sufficient winter chill.
