How long can a cherry orchard remain productive? This morning I walked a block of Bings and Skeenas near East Wenatchee, WA. Within that block the grower has kept 5 acres of Bings planted in 1919! 30' x 30' spacing Four trees per planting hole (high density for 1919) Yield- 5 tons to the acre 96% packout Peak size- 9.5 row It takes a lot of experience and skill to keep 105 year old Bings productive! #NorthernFruitCo
