Nanking Cherry

The Nanking Cherry (Prunus tomentosa) is a vigorous flowering tree that stands out with its profuse blooms and fantastic bark. Renowned for its early spring explosion of fragrant, white to pale pink flowers, the Nanking Cherry features attractive, textured bark that adds character and visual interest, making it a stunning focal point in any display. The Nanking Cherry's dense branching and small, serrated leaves provide excellent material for detailed shaping.
