Hansen's Bush Cherry Tree

Attractive and edible! Enjoy the best of both worlds: Dainty white blossoms in the spring with silvery-green leaves that turn red in the fall for ornamental appeal and tasty cherries in the summer for an edible bonus. Tolerates a wide range of planting sites, including sandy hills, rocky slopes and lake shores. Bears young. Fruit is most enjoyable when allowed to ripen to a deep purple-black color on the bush. Introduced in the early 1900s. Cold-hardy. Ripens in July. Partially self-pollinating, but plant two or more for larger crops. Not able to pollinate our other cherry varieties. (Prunus besseyi)
