Bing cherry tree
Comments (4)Cherries come in pollination groups so any cherry outside the Bing group will work. See chart below for some more cherries that will pollinate a Bing. Note that Bing is not a very good cherry for Illinois since it often cracks, so I would focus on getting one that cracks less for your second cherry.

Comments (1)no advice at all? That's not like this group! I've always been cautioned not to fertilize new plantings until they're established, the logic being that fertilizer stimulates an organism that's just been through a trauma (transplant). sort of like noticing that a heart transplant patient looks a little puny, so you give him a cappucino & a diet pill to perk him up! You might post on the Trees forum & on the California forum. Best luck!...See MoreBing Cherry tree leaves turning black
Comments (3)Today I got a much better look at the leaves. Looking at pictures on the internet I am fairly certain it is Cherry Leaf Spot. Some leaves have it very bad however almost all the leaves have it. There is only one branch that does not have it on the top where new foliage is growing. If I trim this tree everywhere I see the cherry leaf spots there would not be much left of the tree. Should I pull the leaves off that have it the worst. This tree was a replacement I picked up at wal-mart. I had planted two at the end of April that I had purchesed from Loews and they were eaten by deer. One was so badly eaten I replaced it with the wal-mart tree. It was a very nice looking tree so I bought it. Now my sewcond tree is starting to get the disease. I pulled of all the leaves I seen it on. Is there any way to keep these trees in check and will they grow fruit. I am not so much worried about getting my money back for the trees. I would just hate to loose the year and have to start over next. I do not care if I have to use chemicals a couple of years since they will not bare fruit for 4-5 years. How can i get rid of the disease by any means? Thank you for any help...See MoreMoving a Bing Cherry Tree
Comments (2)fruit production requires FULL SUN .... sand is one of the best soils to grow trees in... with proper mulch and proper watering .... short of a picture.. i dont understand what the problem is .. other than they arent twins of each other .... why do you presume that two different cultivars.. grafted trees.. will perform the same???? i guess.. i wouldnt mess with them.. other than to insure proper watering.. and mulch ... unless you could ID some winter problem between the two .. good luck ken...See Morelemonbug
