The Nanking cherry is a hardy, small shrub-like tree prized for its clusters of bright red cherries and ornamental value. Native to Asia, this cherry variety produces small, tart fruit with a vibrant flavour that is ideal for making jams, jellies, and sauces, or for enjoying fresh for those who prefer a tangy taste. The Nanking cherry blooms with an abundance of delicate pink or white flowers in early spring, making it a beautiful addition to any garden.
