Prunus tomentosa
Nanking Cherry – Hardy Beauty, Sweet Rewards
Add color and flavour to your garden with Nanking Cherry! This fast-growing, cold-hardy shrub thrives in northern climates and produces a stunning spring bloom followed by bright red, sweet-tart cherries in mid-summer. Perfect for fresh eating, jams, juice and wine. Ideal for hedges, windbreaks, and edible landscapes. Will need another cherry for pollination, so plant two or more to help achieve a bountiful harvest in the 10 to 15 pound range!
