Nanking Bush Cherry

$23.00

Prunus tomentosa

A tart cherry on a bush! Full sun to part shade. Smallish fruit. These will thrive under utter neglect. It is also one of the first things to bloom in the spring. The glossy, slightly peeling, reddish-brown bark provides interest even in the winter. Bushes grow to about 6’. Can grow and even fruit in shade, though more fruit is produced in full sun. Somewhat self-fertile, but really best with a second plant as a pollinator.

USDA Zone: 3-8

Pollination: Partially self-fertile, but will produce more fruit if 2 or more bushes are planted.

Time to productivity: 2-3 years depending on conditions.

Ripening time: Early summer

Size: 6’ once established.
