How are your bing cherries this year?

I just bought a bag and they are smaller and not as sweet as the ones I got last year. Maybe because it still early in the season. How are your cherries?

Way too early here. Our next door neighbor has a huge cherry tree in the front yard, right by the fence. He doesn't really do anything with them and has always welcomed us to take however much we want.

That tree makes the best cherries EVER, but it doesn't get fruit every year. I don't know much (anything!) about growing stuff, so there is probably a simple reason of which I'm unaware. But when there are cherries, there are zillions.

I keep wishing I could, somehow, tell the birdies - hey, why don't you guys get all of yours from the very top, where we can't reach so we can have the lower ones. They're not going for it. Good thing I love them.

Here in upper MI cherries are a huge commodity. Just drove by the groves and they are all in full bloom with flowers! We won't see cherries until July!

I was going to say, it seems very early for cherries.

The ones I just bought are from California. I live in Colorado and the cherries here don't get sold until June at the earliest. Colorado grows both Bing and Rainier. I can't wait!

@SilleeMee

You probably bought sweet cheeries from California,

Bing cherries come out later.

I'm in a cherry-producing state. It's too early for decent cherries 🍒

Too early for local cherries here in the PNW.

I thought they were the Bing cherries, but I guess I was wrong. Thanks @hopi
