Bing Cherry Tree: Basic Facts

The bing cherry tree is the most popular cherry tree found in the United States for good reason. The bing cherry tree can grown almost anywhere in the United States that has adequate sunlight and well-drained soil. It grows well in zones 5-8, so it does well in all areas of the U.S. with the exception of only the very coldest and hottest climates. Many plant these trees to grow sweet cherries for cooking purposes, but the cherries can also be a delicious treat eaten directly from the tree, provided that the cherry has been cleaned and inspected for defects and pests. Aside from being eaten fresh, the cherries from the bing cherry tree are regularly used to make pies and preserves.
