Bing Cherry Tree
Comments (11)Hoosier, my point is I found conflicting information. The problem is that pollination data is not very accurate as it is hard to test. Also many people don't understand that for cherries it is more than bloom timing that matters for pollination. At some point I found this guide that listed the different groups that cherries fall under but I can't seem to find it now. Well, here is one without a lot of data, see below. Oh, here is a link that says Stella may not work for Bing in some areas: link. Pollination compatibility for most fruits is fairly simple, but not for sweet cherries. For the original poster, I would say there is a good chance the Stella will work, or there is a wild or flowering cherry in the area that will do the job. But, it is not certain.

Comments (13)I'm counting on unusual weather to help my late bare-root plantings....... I really have no way of knowing, but here's my story: I received a Redhaven from Stark Bro's on 5/16/14, it had some HUGE roots, but virtually no little "feeder" roots. It had a tiny green dot at about 2" above the graft. Now (25 days later) that little dot is a couple leafs about 1 1/2" long. But nothing going on anywhere else on the tree - nowhere! If it doesn't get better in awhile I'll get it replaced. Stark has a good policy that way. After that I got 2 more peach trees and a cherry tree on 5/24/14 from Stark Bro's. They were just starting to show some real tiny green leaf in several places upon arrival. All three of these are looking PERFECT 17 days after planting. Lots of growth and all that. So, given that I went on ahead and ordered two more apple trees that will ship from them on 6/13/14. I don't know if they'll work out, I'm just going by the fact that a big place like Stark is still shipping so I figure they must think they'll survive. BUT.., if they don't - they'll replace them. So for me, at the bargain basement sale price that some of these trees are coming in at, I'm taking the gamble. I may be missing something (like stress on the tree and future impact of that, etc) but if I'm not, I figure all I'm out is the time and effort to plant them. If it doesn't pan out, I get to do it all over again. It's no big deal. But sometimes I just can't pass on a bargain........See Moresocal wtb: a sweet surinam cherry and capulin cherry
Comments (3)You might also consider an 'Abaloo' cherry, being sold by Paradise Nursery. It's a tart cherry variety that comes from Iran, so it can handle fewer chill hours. The nursery is located at the Northern edge of Los Angeles. Their site claims that this cherry thrives in Los Angeles and Orange County, but the size of the cherries appear to be kind of small....See MoreBing Cherry suddenly has several yellow leaves
Comments (4)Thanks, Jean. I didn't realize that. Though I'm pretty sure I had whiteflies, or aphids. When I touched the branches a cloud of them would come up. And there were ants, which is a sign of aphids/whiteflies, since ants eat the sweet dew they produce. When the whiteflies/aphids went away after treatment, the ants left a couple days later. So the holes being unrelated, the horticultural oil took care of whatever it was that was making them, since the holes stopped and are now only on old leaves....See Moreblue_can
