Nanking Cherry is great for either the border or mass plantings. Both the flowers and fruits are lovely. The pink buds open into white, fragrant, flowers in mid-spring. Harvest an abundance of flavorful, tart cherry-like fruit in early summer, from beautiful dwarf trees. These plants will grow into wide, bushy trees or can be planted 4-5 foot apart to make an edible hedge. The 1/2 inch diameter fruit can be eaten fresh or used in pies or jelly and the fruit is relished by birds. A very hardy and attractive ornamental. Great for wildlife plantings and windbreaks.
