Bush Cherry

Forget everything you know about finicky cherry trees. Bush cherries are the game-changer your homestead needs - compact shrubs that can handle zone 3 winters and produce sweet-tart cherries without the fuss of full-sized trees.

These incredibly hardy shrubs suffer from relatively few insect and disease problems. Perfect for fresh eating, pies, jams, and wine-making. The compact size makes netting against birds actually manageable, and you can fit several bushes in the space one cherry tree would demand.

We offer three exceptional varieties: 'Jan' for early season fruit, 'Joel' for mid-season abundance, and 'Joy' for late harvest. Plant all three for cherries for continuous harvest. These self-fertile beauties produce alone but yield heavier crops when cross-pollinated. *Busy cherries will not be pollinated by nanking cherries.

We also offer three varieties of Nanking Cherries: Gabe, Jules, and Ian are white Nankings that are sweeter and larger than other nankings, while Cherpugy is a more typical red nanking. *Plant two varieties of nanking for pollinations. Nankings will not pollinate busy cherries.
