Nanking Cherry

Nanking Cherry

A winter hardy, moderately fast-growing, medium shrub. Broad spreading, densely twiggy, becoming more open and picturesque with age. Also called Manchu cherry. Edible fruits are dark red and excellent for pies and jellies. Fruit is relished by many songbirds. Provides nesting cover for a few species of songbirds. Browsed by rabbits, mice, and deer, which could cause serious injury if control measures are not taken. It is sometimes a rather short-lived plant.
