Nanking Cherry (Prunus tomentosa)
| |
|
Exposure: Sun to part shade. Zone 2
Soil: Adapted to a wide range of soils
Growth habits: A multiple-stemmed bush cherry from
6 to 10 feet tall. Beautiful, slightly fuzzy foliage and beautiful
dark reddish bark for winter interest. Whitish-pink cherry flowers
in March followed by delicious small bright red cherries in late
May to early June.
Landscape uses: Great as a specimen, hedge, or
foundation plant. Wonderful wildlife food and habitat plant.
Edible properties: The small sweet/tart, juicy
red cherries are the first bush fruit of the season to ripen and
are quite tasty for fresh eating or processing. We love this fruit
and are always excited when they begin to ripen up. You'll have
to race your wildlife for these tasty beauties.
