Live Bing Cherry Tree Sweet Fruit Variety

The Bing cherry tree (Prunus avium 'Bing') produces large, heart-shaped fruit with dark mahogany skin and firm wine-red flesh that remains the standard for fresh-eating cherries. Originally developed in Oregon’s Willamette Valley in 1875, the variety delivers a rich, full-bodied sweetness that holds its structure during harvest. Properly sited specimens establish quickly to yield reliable, homegrown crops for eating fresh or freezing.

Reaching 12 to 15 feet tall with a matching spread, this specimen thrives in USDA zones 5 through 8 by using natural winter chilling to trigger next year's bloom. It serves as both a productive fruit bearer and an attractive landscape shade tree, featuring abundant white spring blossoms and a broad leafy canopy. Planting a compatible sweet cherry nearby ensures successful cross-pollination and steady seasonal returns.
