Bing is a cultivar of the wild or sweet cherry (Prunus avium) that originated in the Pacific Northwest, in Milwaukie, Oregon, United States.

The Bing remains a major cultivar in Oregon,[1] Washington, California,[1] Wisconsin[1] and British Columbia.

He worked as a foreman in the Lewelling family fruit orchards in Milwaukie for about 35 years, supervising other workers and caring for trees.

Bings are large, dark and firm cherries that ship well, but will crack open if exposed to rain near harvest.

[6] A study by the United States Department of Agriculture suggests that fresh Bing cherries may help sufferers of arthritis and gout.
