‘Bing’ Cherry
FamilyRosaceae
Prunus cerasus ‘Bing’ is a classic and very popular fruiting cherry tree, cultivated for its large, dark red fruits with firm, juicy, and very sweet flesh, perfect for desserts, preserves, and fresh eating. With a harmonious rounded habit and abundant white spring blossoms, it offers seasonal ornamental value while also being an excellent production species for family orchards in Quebec. Although it requires the presence of a compatible pollinator for optimal harvesting, its hardiness and moderate growth make it an accessible and sustainable choice. It prefers full sun exposure and well-drained soil, and can easily be integrated into edible or mixed landscapes while attracting pollinating insects to the garden.
