Happier than expected!

I bought both the Bing and Rainier trees (~4 ft tall) for cross pollination. When they arrived I was a little concerned since they looked scrawny and not much roots. But after just one month they had really branched out, had lots of big leaves and you could see the increase in overall size. Wow. Wish I could post a picture so you could see how well they did. They did seem to take a while to get since it was 3-4 weeks after the deal planting time for my zone before I got them so I would have welcomed a little better communications other than "sometime after the start of shipping for your zone".

Hi,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with your new plant roots! We’re thrilled to hear that, despite the roots being slightly small, your plant took to the soil right away. Sometimes, smaller roots can simply mean your plant is in a more compact or protected state, which can actually encourage stronger, healthier growth once settled.

If you’d like, we’re happy to provide care tips to help your plant continue thriving as it establishes itself—even simple practices like consistent watering, mulching, and avoiding fertilizer until the roots fully spread can be hugely beneficial. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions along the way; we’re here to support you!

Everyone should have these in their yards

This tree is awsome!! It is really easy to care for. There is a wait period before you see cherries but Im sure it will be worth it. I just planted a bing tree and its going well. Im not a pro gardner either and Im really impressed with the results I have after planting this tree. You must try it for yourself!!

Dear Mnm's,

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic and thoughtful review! It’s wonderful to hear that your Bing Cherry Tree is doing well and that you’re enjoying the journey—patience truly pays off with fruit trees, and we’re thrilled you’re already seeing positive results despite not being a pro gardener.

Since Bing cherries do take a few years before they start bearing fruit, we recommend ensuring your tree gets plenty of sunlight (at least 6-8 hours a day) and well-drained soil. Regular watering, especially during dry spells, and a balanced fertilizer can also help speed growth and support healthy crops in time. If you ever want more tips or have questions as your tree grows, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Thanks again for encouraging others to experience the joy of growing their own cherry tree—we’re cheering on each new gardener like you!

The tree is great, so far

I'm a vegetable gardener primarily. I wanted to try something different. This is a great plant in a 24" container. The plant has really taken off. I can't wait to get fruit next year.

Hello Susan,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with your Bing Cherry Tree! We're delighted to hear your tree is thriving in its 24' container and that it’s bringing a refreshing twist to your primarily vegetable garden. Trying something new can be really rewarding, especially when you see your plant take off like this.

As you look forward to fruit next year, a couple of tips might help optimize your harvest: make sure your tree receives full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours a day and water consistently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Additionally, applying a balanced fertilizer in early spring can give your cherry tree a great start as it blooms.

If you need support along the way or want to explore companion plants that thrive alongside stone fruits, don’t hesitate to reach out to us—we’re always happy to help your garden flourish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Bing Cherry Tree require a pollinator tree, and which varieties are compatible?

  • Bing Cherry trees require cross-pollination from another sweet cherry variety to produce fruit. Compatible pollinators include Black Tartarian, Lambert, and Van cherry trees that bloom at the same mid-season timing. Plant your pollinator within 100 feet of your Bing for best results.

How do I properly plant a Bing Cherry Tree, including hole size and staking?

  • Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep for your Bing Cherry Tree. In zones 5-9, plant in early spring and stake young trees for the first 2 years to support growth up to 20 feet. Shop quality Bing Cherry trees at Nature Hills for best results.

What are the pruning requirements for a Bing Cherry Tree?

  • Bing Cherry trees can be trained to any height needed for your landscape, though they naturally reach 16-20 feet tall and 12-15 feet wide if left unpruned. Prune during dormancy in late winter before buds break to maintain desired size and shape.

Is the Bing Cherry Tree self-fertile, or do I need two trees?

  • Bing Cherry trees are not self-fertile and require cross-pollination from another sweet cherry variety to produce fruit. Plant a compatible pollinator like Black Tartarian or Royal Ann within 100 feet for best results. Both trees will benefit from the cross-pollination and give you an extended harvest season.

Are dwarf varieties of Bing Cherry Trees available, and how tall do they grow?

  • Bing Cherry trees can be trained to any height needed for your landscape through pruning. Unpruned trees reach 16-20 feet tall and 12-15 feet wide in zones 5-9. Regular pruning keeps them manageable for smaller spaces while maintaining fruit production.

Will a Bing Cherry Tree grow well in my climate/zone (e.g., zone 4 or 9)?

  • Bing Cherry trees thrive in USDA zones 5-9, handling both moderate cold and heat well. If you're in zone 4, this variety won't survive your winters. For zones 5-9, plant in full sun with well-draining soil for best fruit production.
