I have two sweet cherries, a Bing and a Black Tartarian. They supposed to compatible for cross pollination. This coming spring will be their 3rd year after planting. They are 7-8 ft high. The last two years they flowered at the same time but I didn't get a single cherry. Is it possible one was mislabeled at the nursey or are they just not mature enough?
Sweet Cherry Pollination
Looks like they are compatible.

I have a Bing and a Van. They are 2 and 1/2 years old and they haven't produced yet but that's pretty normal. As long as you see lots of new growth in the spring you shouldn't worry too much.
However I did also plant a Montmorency along with them which died last year. When I took pictures to my local nursery they showed me their trees and it was obvious that the Montmorency I had bought somewhere else wasn't a Montmorecy at all. So they could have mislabeled your tree. But it sounds hopeful that they are flowering at the same time.
