Field note

Nanking cherries (Prunus tomentosa) ripen here in mid July

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

Nanking cherries (Prunus tomentosa) ripen here in mid July, and the seeds from this tree filled a bed of seedlings we’re growing this year. We also had good results with softwood cuttings, they root quickly and heavily, and we have grafts of them growing on our wild choke cherries. Quickly becoming my favourite prunus to propagate. On my wish list is some of the cool Russian cultivars. I wonder if it’s possible to import a bundle of scion wood with the right phyto and paperwork. #nankingcherry
