Prune a Bing cherry tree during its dormant season, typically in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This timing minimizes stress on the tree and helps prevent disease. Focus on removing dead, damaged, or crossing branches to improve air circulation and light penetration. Avoid heavy pruning, as cherry trees can be sensitive to excessive cuts.
No, Montgomery cherry trees cannot pollinate Bing cherry trees as they are not compatible for cross-pollination. It is recommended to have a different variety of cherry tree that blooms around the same time as the Bing cherry tree for successful pollination and fruit production.
No because one must have sour with sweet

Yes, a Carmine Jewel cherry tree can act as a pollinator for a Bing cherry tree. Carmine Jewel is a sour cherry variety that is self-pollinating but also produces viable pollen that can benefit other cherry varieties. Since Bing cherries are not self-pollinating, having a Carmine Jewel nearby can enhance fruit set and yield. Planting both together can improve overall cherry production.
mid spring or after you pick the cherries

To properly prune a cherry tree, start by removing dead or diseased branches. Then, prune any branches that are crossing or rubbing against each other. Trim back any branches that are growing too close to the ground or are overcrowding the tree. Make clean cuts at a slight angle just above a bud or lateral branch. Avoid over-pruning, as this can stress the tree. Prune during the tree's dormant season in late winter or early spring.
