The Bing cherry wasn’t named after a search engine, or some dude named Chandler... 🍒😂
BUT it was actually named after a real person - a 7-foot-tall orchard foreman named Bing who worked alongside cherry grower Seth Lewelling in the late 1800s.
A cherry this iconic deserves... an equally iconic backstory
Sweet, legendary, and still stealing the spotlight all these years later ❤️
