Delicious, Plump Cherries in the First Year
Why Bing Cherry Trees?

Pollination Info
Bing Cherry Tree Pollination
Bing Cherry Trees are not self-fertile. You will need to plant another variety to achieve fruiting. Below are the most effective pollinators we have chosen for your area...
Planting & Care
1. Planting: First, find an area with well-drained soil and full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day). Once you've selected your location, dig a hole that's approximately a foot and a half deep and equally as wide. Place your Bing Cherry in the hole, tamp down the surrounding soil to remove air pockets, and then water to settle the roots. Finally, spread a layer of mulch over the soil around your Cherry Tree to help encourage healthy growth and preserve moisture.
2. Watering: During the growing season, if your tree receives at least an inch of rain every 10 days then no additional irrigation is necessary. If the season is hot and dry, then you may need to provide some additional water. The best way to water is by using a slow trickling garden hose and leaving it at the base of the tree for about 30 seconds, once a week. If you're not sure when to water, however, check the soil about 2 or 3 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it's time to water.
3. Pruning: A year after planting your Cherry Tree, prune in the late winter, while it's still dormant. Shape the tree to encourage horizontal branch growth with space between branches. Prune once a year as necessary to remove weak, drooping branches.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in the spring and midsummer using low-nitrogen fertilizer, applying 2 weeks after planting and 4 weeks after the first application. Use a complete fertilizer, such as 10-10-10, and apply 6 to 8 inches away from the trunk.
FGT Tip: Surround your Cherry Tree with a thin layer of mulch each spring.

Cherry trees and arrival
So far my experience has been great. Trees arrived on time and in pretty good shape. I planted the same day as I received them. Now I'm just waiting for spring to see if they have survived. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you.
Bing Cherry's - Sleeping
Beautiful potential. I can't wait for spring and for the trees to mature. Well packed. Good value. Healthy trees. Right now they are sticks surrounded by 8 inches of new snow...everybody's asleep until spring. I'll have more to share then!
