Nanking Cherry Bush

Nanking Bush Cherry is early and extra productive. A good choice for borders and mass planting, this cold-hardy, vigorous bush produces sweetly scented spring flowers and tremendous crops of edible fruits.

Nanking Bush Cherry grows 6-8 ft. tall with a similar spread. For best yields, plant two or more bushes. Zones 2-8.
