Q.What Is The Optimum Pollinator For My Bing Cherry Plant In Oceanside Area Of California? Will It Be Available Nearby?
I have grown up a bing cherry plant, now ~ 4 years old. It is showing no sign of flowering, what to say of fruits. I understand that a pollinator is also needed. Two years back, I tried to grow a Stella and Rainer plants from their dorments. Unfortunately they slowly died, showing no growth.Please let me know how to progress.

Tulare is similar and is a good pollinator. You will need to inquire at local nurseries who sell fruit trees for its availability. They should know what other trees are good pollinators. Make sure it is a sweet cherry and blooms at the same time as Bing.
