About Pittman & Davis Bing Cherries
Bing cherries were first discovered growing in the orchard of Seth Lewelling in 1875 in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, near the city of Milwaukie. The fruit is named for Ah Bing, a Chinese immigrant of Manchurian descent who was the head foreman of Lewelling’s nursery. According to expert sources, Bing was walking with Lewelling through the orchard one day in 1875 when they noticed a new type of cherry growing on one of the trees. Lewelling selected the new cherry for commercial propagation and decided to name the variety after Bing to honor his hard work and dedication to the farm.
Bing Cherries are believed to be an open-pollinated cross between Black Republican and Royal Ann Cherries. The variety was selected for its large size, uniform shape, sweet-tart flavor, and pigmented coloring, as it was the only dark red cultivar produced in the Pacific Northwest during the late 19th century. Today Bing cherries are one of the most commercially produced varieties in the United States.
