Overview
Nanking cherry grows fast, blooms early and loads up with small, bright red cherries.
Origin & History
Native to northern China, Korea and Mongolia. A prairie shelterbelt and farm garden shrub for a century.
Fruit & Uses
Half inch red cherries in early July, good fresh and better as jelly. Birds love them.
Growth Habit
Dense, rounded shrub, 6 to 10 ft. Fairly short lived, about 15 to 20 years.
Spacing
Plant 4 to 5 ft apart. A bundle of 25 covers 100 to 125 ft of row.
Pollination
Needs a second seedling nearby to set fruit, which a hedge provides.
Cold hardiness
We rate Nanking cherry to zone 2, winters to -50°F. Bloom is early enough that late frost takes the crop some years.
How wholesale orders work
- Bundles can't be split. Sizes under 3 ft. come 25 to a bundle, 3 ft. and taller come 20 to a bundle.
- Price breaks count every Farm & Ranch bundle in your cart, any mix of plants. 4 bundles, 12 bundles and 24 bundles each drop the price on all of them. The discount shows up in your cart on its own.
- Add to your order any time before it ships. Same shipping address, and the bundles count together toward the next price break.
- No cancellations after February 1. Cancel part of an order before then and the rest is priced at the break it still earns.
- If we come up short on a plant, you keep the price break you paid for and we refund the bundles we couldn't send.
- Our dead plant guarantee covers these the same as everything else we sell. A plant that never leafs out its first season gets a credit code for what you paid for it plus its share of the shipping. We can't break a bundle, so credit goes toward a future order, not loose replacement plants.
