Description

Nanking cherry (Prunus tomentosa) is a central Asian species of bush cherry tree native to China, Japan, and the Himalayas. The Nanking cherry is a fast- growing species that sets fruit within two years. Without pruning, a Nanking bush cherry tree can reach heights of 15 feet (4.5 m.), but the spreading growth habits of the Nanking cherry allow it to grow as a shrub or planted closely and trimmed into a hedge. It’s an early spring bloomer producing attractive pink buds that turn white as they flower. The bush cherry tree produces dark red fruit about ½ inch (1 cm.) in diameter. The tart-tasting cherries are edible and ripen in July and August in the Northern Hemisphere (January and February in the Southern Hemisphere). Ripened Nanking cherries are softer than other cherry species. The shorter shelf life makes the Nanking cherry less desirable for commercial fresh fruit sales. Commercially, their value lies in the production of preserves, juice, wine, syrup, and pies. For home use, Nanking cherries are high-yielding and stay fresh on the tree for two to three weeks after ripening. It’s advisable to net the cherries, as the fruit is attractive to native songbirds. Plant Nanking cherry trees in a sunny location. They prefer a loamy soil, but can be grown in many soil types as long as drainage is adequate. Bush cherries are tolerant of windy conditions and can be planted as a windbreak.
