Bing Cherry Tree is one of the most iconic and widely cherished sweet cherry varieties, known for its deep color, firm texture, and rich, satisfying flavor. The Bing Cherry (Prunus avium ‘Bing’) produces large, heart-shaped fruit with glossy, dark red skin and dense, juicy flesh that’s exceptionally sweet with a hint of complexity. Renowned for its superb eating quality, Bing is the classic choice for fresh snacking, baking, canning, and preserving, delivering full-bodied flavor that defines the standard for premium cherries.

This vigorous and productive cherry tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, requiring moderate to high chill hours to set reliable crops. Bing is not self-fruitful and requires a compatible pollinator—such as Lapins, Rainier, Stella, or Black Tartarian—to ensure heavy yields. With proper pollination, the tree produces abundant clusters of cherries that ripen in late spring to early summer, signaling the start of peak cherry season with fruit that is highly prized for its sweetness and firmness.

In addition to its exceptional fruit, the Bing Cherry Tree adds ornamental beauty to home orchards and edible landscapes. Each spring it bursts into bloom with clouds of white blossoms that attract pollinators before leafing out into a strong, upright canopy. Known for its reliability, long lifespan, and superior fruit quality, Bing remains a top choice for gardeners who want a premium sweet cherry tree that performs year after year.

  • Varietal Traits: Bing cherries produce large, nearly black, firm, and juicy fruit with a superb sweet flavor.

  • Cultivation History: Bing cherries are widely cultivated worldwide, renowned for their rich, sweet taste, firm flesh, and versatility in various culinary pairings.

Pollination and Fruit Production

To ensure successful fruit production and a bountiful harvest of Bing cherries, it’s important to provide the right conditions for pollination. While the Bing cherry tree cannot self-pollinate, cross-pollination from compatible trees, such as Black Tartarian, is essential for optimal fruiting. Prunus avium Bing trees thrive in full sun with well-drained soil, where they can produce fruit and yield delicious cherries in the mid summer. When planting a bare root tree, make sure the root ball is undisturbed and the tree receives adequate care, including proper pruning to encourage horizontal branch growth.

Cultivating Bing Cherry Trees:

  • Planting Requirements: Opt for a location with full sun exposure, ensuring well-draining soil, and suitable hardiness zones (5-9).

  • Optimal Chill Hours: Bing cherry trees thrive with 700-900 chill hours, making them suitable for regions like the Pacific Northwest in the United States.

Tree Maintenance:

  • Pollination Needs: Cross-pollination from varieties like Black Tartarian, Van, Rainier, Stella, or Lapins enhances fruit production.

  • Pest Susceptibility: Cherries can be sensitive to birds, brown rot, and bacterial canker. Protecting against these factors aids in maintaining tree health.

Harvesting Bing Cherries:

  • Harvest Period: Bing cherries typically ripen between May 20 and June 5, offering a window for picking the flavorful, juicy fruit.

  • Versatile Use: Ideal for fresh consumption, canning, freezing, and pairing with diverse flavors, from almonds to chocolate.

Challenges and Considerations:

  • Soil Sensitivity: Bing cherry trees dislike wet, tight soils and thrive in moderately cool summer climates, making them less adaptable to high humidity.

  • Maintenance and Care: Once established, these trees require minimal maintenance but may need protection against specific pests and environmental conditions.

Growing Bing Cherry Trees requires careful consideration of their environmental needs, from suitable climate conditions to pollination partners. With proper care and maintenance, these trees can offer a delectable bounty of dark, sweet cherries, making them a valuable addition to any home orchard.

Leveling the playing field
Format: Hardcover
It is a not so tightly held secret that the Republicans know how to manipulate emotions for political advantage; with this book Drew Westen levels the playing field by not only providing insight into how emotions are evoked and taken advantage of politically, but also provides evidence-driven suggestions for the Democratic party to follow. The question, of course, is will the Democrats change their electoral strategies taking Dr. Westen's suggestions to heart, or will they follow the failed tactics of the Gore and Kerry campaigns, which relied on consultants following a rational-choice model of politics that prefers watered down political positions and milquetoast candidates in hopes of taking the "center". While some may argue that this book is unethical by advocating the targeting of voters' emotions, instead of their "rational thought process", and thus is supportive of public manipulation, a very strong counter-argument might be made that putting this information in the public domain will help voters inoculate themselves against current Republican strategies which rely on scaring the public and arousing their anger against others using a range of techniques that border on the illegal. Specifically, the "RATS" subliminal advertisement used by the Bush 2000 campaign to attack Gore is, on close scrutiny, a very astute and professional advertisement that takes advantage of knowledge in the academic sphere that humans process information outside of conscious awareness. Specifically, a 1986 article in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology by Fazio et al. provided evidence that not only did the term "RATS" have a negative effect on peoples' evaluation of items presented afterwards, but that further, the term "Reagan" had a weak positive effect. Likewise, both Westen and colleagues and Stewart and Schubert(in Harvard International Journal of Press/Politics, 2006), in separate studies, suggest that the term "RATS" is an effective subliminal. Furthermore, the use of fear/anxiety by the current administration is well established, with studies showing a correlation between changes in the Homeland Security color-coded threat indicator and political tactics. While one might argue over the timing of the Iraq invasion, and whether it was carried out for short-term political expediency, or to address a perceived threat in the region, one cannot argue with the rally effect that bolstered President Bush's ratings to over 90% immediately after 9-11 and over 70% after the Iraq invasion. Knowing that humans respond in predictable ways when different emotions are evoked allows not just politicians, consultants, academics and wonks to understand human behavior, but also will give the average citizen greater awareness of how the emotions evoked affect their decisions and responses. In other words, a more intelligent population may come from a more emotionally astute population.

A compelling counternarrative
Format: Hardcover
"The Political Brain" by Drew Westen is an important contribution to the political science literature in general and an inspiration for Democratic Party supporters in particular. Mr. Westen's knowledge of psychology and the cognitive sciences provides insight into how the individual develops a political consciousness. Showing how the Republican Party has gained advantage by developing an emotionally fear-laden narrative designed to exploit the electorate's psychic sensibilities, Mr. Westen argues that Democrats can and must develop a compelling counternarrative that appeals to the American public's better angels in order to inspire their supporters and win consistently at the polls. The first section discusses the mind, brain and emotion in politics. Mr. Westen draws upon the latest scientific research to explain how emotion is integral to the brain's cognitive function. Mr. Westen recites passages delivered by Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Bill Clinton to illustrate how political messages are most effective when they tie issues to emotionally resonant themes and images. Importantly, Mr. Westen also deconstructs the neoliberal ideology of Ronald Reagan to help us better understand the importance of evolutionary psychology and crafting popular messages with curb appeal. The second section provides a blueprint for executing emotionally compelling campaigns. Mr. Westen explores the multiple layers of voter intelligence to reveal how Republicans have successfully used subliminal messaging to activate the public's feelings of anxiety in order to get people to vote against their own material self-interests. The author stresses that when Democratics shy away from conflict, voters instinctively detect weakness; therefore he recommends that Democrats cede nothing and go after issues that many voters tend to perceive as Republican. To that end, Mr. Westen offers a series of principled narratives on contentious issues such as abortion, affirmative action, gay rights and gun control that he believes could easily help the Democrats gain majority support by activating the American voter's sense of fairness, freedom and equality of opportunity. While perhaps not fully convincing on all subjects, Mr. Westen amply demonstrates that a coherent and inspirational counternarrative is possible. Unfortunately, this otherwise excellent book succumbs to a transparent attempt at self-promotion by forcing readers to go to the author's website to read the footnotes. Boo! Yet despite this minor deficiency, I highly recommend this timely and fascinating book to everyone.

Essential reading for Democratic campaign managers
Format: Kindle
For decades it has frustrated me that, while most of the country shares Democratic beliefs over Republican ones, Democrats keep losing elections. Why? Because the very values Democrats hold dear...taking the higher road, trying to stay "above the fray", concentrating on issues over personalities...fail to speak to the emotional brain that makes most voters' electoral decisions. Whether it's the language they use while failing to understand its connotations, over-handling by committees that blunt the message, or simple refusal to debate some topics at all (abortion, gun control, race) thereby defaulting on them to the Republicans, Democrats systematically undermine their own campaigns. Westen's book is must reading for every Democrat who wants to hold public office! Thus, the five stars. On the other hand, Westen makes his point clearly and firmly in the first third of the book, and then beats us over the head with it, taking us point by point through campaigns, tweaking the information endlessly, and frankly, about halfway through I started skimming and eventually put it down. "I get it already!" I thought, and moved on. Also, this is horribly produced ebook. It's obviously scanned from a printed copy and poorly proofread, it at all. When Westen talks about the perception of the word "gull" and how it affects elections, you have to read a bit to understand that it's the word "gun" he's talking about! Words bizarrely split, words run together, bizarre punctuation and misspelling due to OCR errors are rife on every single page. Furthermore, the type looks like bad photocopying with the machine set on "light." Ugly, ugly, ugly. Yet the publisher (Hatchette) charges nearly as much for the ebook as for the print book, which I'm sure looks a lot better. It couldn't look any worse. If I could, I'd rate it "five stars" for the content, downgrade it to "three stars" for being redundant, and finally give it "one star" for being so terribly produced. That first third of the book, though, is so important for Democrats to understand (the Republicans already have a masterful grasp of it) that I went with the "five star" rating.

A Bitter Pill, but Much Needed Knowledge
Format: Kindle
Its thesis is that we, as humans, are predisposed to emotional, gut-level decision-making. Although most liberals will not want to accept this, author, Drew Westen, makes his case so well even the most inveterate ostriches must pull their heads out of the sand. We believe first, then we seek to support our beliefs. How we come to believe is a complex interaction of genetics and environment, which Westen makes no effort to reveal. What he focuses on is the counter-productive illusion that facts and issues matter more than the emotions underlying the principles we value most in life. And Westen disabuses the reader of this illusion quite completely, giving examples of what should have been said and what should have been done in Democrat campaigns in response to Republican attack. As a psychologist, Westin teaches us how the human brain works and why it is important for liberal politics to know how it works before selecting a candidate and mounting a campaign.
