Why did you choose this?

When Stark Bros. gives descriptions, they're always correct so we thought we' d give these a try.

I moved to and bare piece of land two years ago with dream of an orchard, this year is the year to start. I love cherries and saw this on sale, so I decided to take my first step.

good old sweet cherry

Bing!! Everyone's favorite. Also checking growth viability for my area.

Does this tree require a spray program fo the tree to produce good fruit?

I never ever spray! if I need help with issues I use garlic spray, oregano oil diluted, traps,ect. You can also purchase a row cover type canapy for your trees that do not harm the birds ect , but keep the insects out.

If i buy 2, Bing cherry trees, will they pollinate each other or do I need 1 Bing and a windsor?

Sweet cherry trees of the same variety won't pollinate one another; you need a different variety that has a similar bloom time. Windsor would be one of those.

Will bing cherry good to cross pollinate with rainier cherries?

Yes, they are in the same flowering group.

HOW TALL ARE THESE FRUIT TREES ?

Please click on "choose an option" above to see the available tree sizes. We list their height when shipped in the drop down as some times we have several options available.

how does zone 5b compare to zone 5 ?

Zone 5b has a slightly higher average daily temperature. If you're asking if this tree will grow in 5b, the answer is yes.

It looks like the cherry trees listed as pollinators for the Bing cherry tree are sold out, is that correct?

We appreciate you reaching out to us. Rule of pollination for cherries is any sweet cherry will pollinate another sweet cherry the only exception is : Emperor Francis, Lambert, or Napoleon/Royal Ann will not cross with a bing, but you may use any other sweet variety.

If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us. Have a great day!

I already have a North Star sour cherry tree in my yard, curious if that will suffice as a pollinator?

That would be nice, but unfortunately not. Tart cherries cannot sufficiently pollinate sweet cherry tree, despite what you may read on the Internet.

Can you plant these trees in October?

We appreciate you reaching out to us. Because weather and soil conditions vary so much from year to year and even within your zone, it's best to think of your planting time as a range of favorable conditions instead of an exact time.

You can plant new plants and trees:
1) when the ground is not frozen.
2) when daytime temperatures are above freezing (32ºF) and below 90ºF.
3) when extreme weather (blizzard, hail, torrential rain, etc.) is not in the forecast. Be sure to keep plants watered if you're transplanting in warm and/or dry weather.

If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us. Have a great day!

Do you apply any chemicals to this? (I hope not)

No I don’t use any chemicals at all and it’s been vigorous and pest free so far.

how tall are the trees at  purchase?

That will depend upon which option you choose. Please see the "Choose an option" dropdown menu near the top of the page, which will show you the various sizes/options that are available.

Beautiful trees until.......
The trees arrived beautifully. I. planted them, then horrors, came the deer. I have tried everything from moth balls, to Repels all, aluminum pie pans strung on themarigolds, etc. Nothing worked until I read about a spray you make. 3 eggs. garlic. milk, cayenne, and more. Let it ssit for a few days, then add water and spray. I couldn't wait three days. I added more water and spread it around. Success. They are beautiful and I can't wait for them to grow bigger without deer

Flourished
The tree arrived in good shape. It was flourished this spring. Put out a lot of new growth. I intend to water it through the summer, when needed. One little problem, the deer also appreciate the new growth.

Vibrant Tree
My tree was full of life when it got here, and it is still thriving. I am very pleased with my purchase. The trees I ordered from another were apparently dead when they arrived. I would order from Stark Brothers again. in fact, I may be in the market for a peach tree.
