| has gloss | eng: Bing is a cultivar of the wild or sweet cherry (Prunus avium) that originated in the Pacific Northwest, in what is now Milwaukie, Oregon, United States. The Bing remains a major cultivar in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. The cultivar was created as a crossbred graft from the Republican cherry in 1875 by Oregon horticulturist Seth Lewelling and his Manchurian Chinese foreman Ah Bing, for whom the cultivar is named. It is the most produced variety of sweet cherry in the U.S. today. |
