Growing Semi Dwarf Bing Cherry Tree on Maxma 14®

Light: Requires full sun for optimal bloom, fruit set, and sweetness.

Soil: Performs best in fertile, well-drained soil; amend with compost or organic matter for improved nutrition and drainage.

Water: Provide deep, infrequent watering during the growing season, particularly during fruit development. Avoid excess watering, which can lead to fruit splitting.

Pollination: Not self-fertile; requires a compatible pollinator such as Van, Rainier, or Stella for reliable fruit set.

Maintenance: Prune in late winter to shape the tree, promote airflow, and encourage productive new wood. Thin fruit if needed to improve size and quality.

Hardiness: Best grown in USDA zones 5–9. Ripens in early to mid-summer and is prized for its superb flavor and consistent quality.
