Prunus tomentosa

A resilient, fruiting deciduous shrub prized for its early spring blossoms and tart-sweet red cherries that ripen in early summer. Native to regions of northern China, Korea, and Mongolia, Nanking cherry is highly adaptable and ornamental, making it a favorite in edible landscapes, hedgerows, and mixed borders. Its early blooms provide an important nectar source for pollinators emerging from winter dormancy.
