Hi! Can anyone help identify these cherries from my new garden? They are sweet and planted together. The small ones fruited around June 1-7, and the bigger ones around June 4-11. I am in western Idaho. I have not seen them flower yet. Any thoughts?
I'll be 100% honest with you: the best way to identify sweet cherries is to find out when Bing cherries are picked in your area. Bing is the "benchmark" for US cherries, with ripening times always being given as x weeks before and after Bing. In fact the largest one at the bottom of the first picture could well be a Bing: it's the most popular sweet cherry cultivar in the US and ripening time could be about right as well.
That makes a lot of sense. I had been trying to guess based on the bigger ones being Bing, but wasn't sure. I couldn't immediately find information on the internet, but I'll keep looking or ask at the local nursery. Thanks!
