BING CHERRY

Branch of a Bing cherry tree

'Bing' is a cultivar of cherry that originated in the Pacific Northwest, specifically in what is now Milwaukie, Oregon. Bing remains a major cultivar in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. The cultivar was developed in the 1870s by Oregon horticulturalist Seth Lewelling and his Manchurian Chinese foreman Ah Bing, for whom the cultivar is named.
Bing cherries are used almost exclusively for fresh market. Bings are large, dark and firm cherries that ship well, but will crack open if exposed to rain near harvest.

Health

A study by the United States Department of Agriculture has shown that fresh Bing cherries can help sufferers of arthritis and gout.^[1]
