western sandcherry, prunus besseyi

western sandcherry, prunus besseyi. hansen bush cherries. such a cool plant, the fruit is super tasty (unlike the related eastern sandcherry prunus pumila), it’s one of the parents of most cherry plums and the black nanking, and it’s a super cold hardy rootstock. I’ll be grafting apricots and other prunus onto it in the spring, and generally growing many of them for no other reason than to plant around our nursery, they should do well in our sandy soil #sandcherry
