Bing cherry
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,〔Zebian, Maureen. (8/11/2011) "'Bing' Those Cherries On!" ''The Epoch Times'', Northern California Edition. Accessed August 2011.〕 Washington, California,〔 Wisconsin〔 and British Columbia. It is the most produced variety of sweet cherry in the United States.〔
== History ==
The cultivar was created as a crossbred graft from the Black Republican cherry in 1875 by Oregon horticulturist Seth Lewelling and his Manchurian Chinese foreman Ah Bing, for whom the cultivar is named.〔Peg Herring, (Bing cherries are an American favorite. But who was Bing? ), ''Oregon Progress'', Oregon State University Agricultural Experiment Station, Fall 2009.〕〔
Ah Bing was reportedly born in China and immigrated to the U.S. in about 1855. He worked as a foreman in the Lewelling family fruit orchards in Milwaukie for about 35 years, supervising other workers and caring for trees. He went back to China in 1889 for a visit. Due to the restrictions of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 he never returned to the United States.〔〔(Ah Bing ), Infoplease.com, accessed September 23, 2010〕 Sources disagree as to whether Ah Bing was responsible for developing the cultivar, or whether it was developed by Lewelling and named in Bing's honor due to his long service as orchard foreman.〔
