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, to insure cross pollination, choose any red Nanking or a different numbered white Nanking. For landscape effect Japanese plums bloom later but overlap with Nanking cherry. Height 4' - 8'. Space @ 6' circle. Zones 3-7.
