Maybe I've just been lucky, but my Bing cherry has done very well for me.

It was in full bloom the other night when we had 35 degree night, but didn't affect it. It usually blooms at the same time as the Methley plum, and Pink cascade weeping peach.

Most years it sets fruit, but I read that they drop off, because I don't have a pollinator. Bing need the pollen of another cherry to set and keep fruit. And, I only have the one cherry tree.

Thank you for the links for the cherry varieties. I will have to check those out, so I can find my Bing a "mate".
