Prunus tomentosa (Jules Nanking Cherry)

Known as the sweetest among all Nanking cherries, this hardy bush-type variety produces fruit larger than most other Nanking cherries. It thrives in full sun, making it perfect as a foundation plant, fruitful hedge, or even grown in a container. While it is not always self-fertile, planting two trees will help ensure fruit set.

Due to import restrictions, we are unable to ship cherries to CA, Europe, and other restricted regions.

This Nanking strain is the best for eating fresh. We offer three different stock plants of Nanking White cherries: Gabe #1, Ian #2, and Jules #3. To guarantee cross-pollination when ordering more than one white-fruiting Nanking, choose a red Nanking or a different white variety. As a note, the Ian White Nanking does particularly well in drought conditions, including temperatures above 100°F in Texas. For landscaping, Japanese plums bloom later but overlap with Nanking cherries in bloom time.
