Cherry, Nanking

Small, cold and relatively drought hardy, easy-to-care-for cherry shrub. Beautiful in all four seasons. Works great as an edible hedge, formal or otherwise, when planted at a 4' spacing.

7'X7', when unhindered and unpruned.

Produces incredibly flavorful, small cherries. While it is definitely possible to miss a crop on these due to a late spring freeze, we have found them to be much more reliable producers than your standard fruit tree. Also, since they are bushes and not trees, it is possible to plant a few on the edge of larger trees for greater frost protection in a bad year.
