The Bing Cherry is a popular variety well-known for its juicy and dark sweet cherries. These cherries are packed with antioxidants and offer a delicious flavor. Not only are they reliable, with the ability to produce over 50 pounds of fruit per year, but they also attract pollinators and thrive in dry-summer climates, making them a great addition to any garden or orchard. Bing cherry is not self-fertile and requires another cherry tree for cross-pollination and fruit production. The cherries are typically ready for harvest in mid-June and boast a glossy, maroon skin with bright red, striated flesh. With their subtly fruity flavor and tangy aftertaste, they can be used in a variety of ways, from fresh consumption to jams, syrups, preserves, and baked goods.
