Prunus avium 'Bing'
The standard that sweet cherries are judged against - introduced in 1875 and still growing strong! The deliciously large, firm black cherry that eastern Washington is famous for.
It grows well in dry climates but the fruit may crack if rain comes during harvest time. Needs a pollinizer, which can be other sweet cherry

Did not make it through the summer.
I order a bunch of trees this spring, all are thriving very well except the bing cherry. The plant did not look good a few weeks after planting, then was flowering some. Now dead. The price of these trees are an investment, frustrating to get zero return.

This is the second order I have made from Raintree nursery. Bare root is the way to go! All but one of the stems of my plants grew well immediately and I am very satisfied. Shipping packaging was amazingly secure! I am awaiting my next order for next week!

My tree arrived in great shape. The leaves are starting to come out. Can’t wait till it starts producing fruit
