| Nanking White Cherry Bush - Prunus tomentosa |
|---|
The sweetest of all the Nankings. A bush type cherry, very hardy with above average size fruit for the Nanking. Best in full sun as a foundation plant or as a fruitful hedge. Can also be grown in a container. Not always self fertile, to insure fruit set plant two. This is the best Nanking strain for eating fresh. We have three different stock plants of Nanking White cherries ie; #1, #2, and #3. If ordering more than one white fruiting Nanking we will send different ones to insure cross pollination. Also, any red Nanking will pollinate any white. For landscape effect Japanese plums bloom later but overlap with Nanking cherry. Height 4' - 8'. Space @ 6' circle. Zones 3-7.

Not always self fertile, to insure fruit set, plant 2. Space @ 6 feet. For landscape effect Japanese plums blooms overlap Nanking cherry. Zones 3-7.

| Joy Bush Cherry - Prunus jacquemonti x japonica |
After 25 years of "patience and persistence," fruit breeder Elwyn Meader of New Hampshire introduced Jan and Joy and Joel. At 4' tall these fall bearing bush cherries are easy to care for. Their bloom and form resemble flowering almond. They'll fruit a year after planting. The sour cherry like fruits ripen in late summer and are not bothered by birds. When planted together they should be spaced 3' to 4' apart in well drained soil that gets at least 6 hours of sun a day.They are easy no spray fruits, highly resistant to powdery mildew and cherry worms. They are very hardy(-31 degrees F in Buckfield Maine) and are low chill tolerant in the south and west.Joy is self-fertile. Space 3-4' circle. Zones 3-8.
