Nanking Cherry
What: The Nanking Cherry is a hardy, fast-growing deciduous shrub that bursts with fragrant shell-pink flowers in early spring, followed by an abundance of sweet, juicy bright red cherries in mid-summer
Best use: It is ideal as an edible hedge, privacy screen, or standout accent in orchard and edible landscaping designs. This variety requires a different selection of the same species growing nearby in order to set fruit.
