The Bing cherry tree is a classic American cultivar, first developed in Oregon in the 1870s. Known for producing large, firm, deep red cherries with rich, sweet flavor, it has become one of the most iconic sweet cherry plants in the world. Adding a Bing cherry tree to your orchard or edible garden means growing a piece of history that’s both beautiful in bloom and generous in harvest. It's a must-have for any fruit tree enthusiast who values classic flavor and proven performance.
MicroStarts' Bing cherry trees are grafted (ensuring true-to-type fruit), and ship in a Jumbo Ellepot.
Bing cherries are large, firm, deep red to nearly black with sweet, juicy flesh and a rich, classic cherry flavor.

Our rootstock is propagated via tissue culture, a clonal process that results in true to type, disease-free plants. These trees have been grown in ellepots to promote healthy root development.
Planting & Care
These trees are grafted to ensure they produce fruits that are true to type, matching the quality, flavor, and characteristics of their parent variety.
Ellepots promote healthy, air-pruned root systems and can be planted directly into the ground. If you purchase an Ellepot plant, no need to remove the biodegradable sleeve - it can be planted straight in the ground!
Bing cherry trees are self-sterile, and need to be paired with other pollinator cherry trees to produce fruit (such as Van, Lapins, or Rainier). See "Recommended Pollinators" for pollinators we carry.
Taller trees will be cut down to 34” prior to shipping. Trees shipped in winter are dormant and leafless, and naturally awaken in spring.
