The Nanking Cherry is an exceptionally winter-hardy, highly versatile shrub that offers year-round enjoyment. In spring, the shrub dazzles with clusters of beautiful pink flowers, followed by dark green leaves and vibrant scarlet red berries that ripen in early summer. These berries have a sweet and tangy flavour, making them perfect for fresh eating, pies, jams, and jellies. In winter, the reddish stems provide a striking contrast against a snowy landscape. To ensure fruit production, a compatible pollinator, such as Brookgold, Brookred, or Tecumseh plums, is required. This shrub is generally pest and disease free, and it is tolerant of both drought and heat. Easy to grow and maintain, the Nanking Cherry is an excellent choice for any landscape.
