Re: [NAFEX] Prunus fruticosa
I don't know. It was sold as "dwarf ground cherry". The full catalog
description is:
These shrubs stay short, reaching only 3 to 5 feet at maturity. They
have beautiful
bright green foliage and white flowers in the Spring, yielding a small,
dark red, tart
cherry in mid-summer. Our family's favorite jam is made with this fruit.
Wonderful for
hedges and extremely hardy. Alaska growers say their bushes survive the
most difficult
winters. At least 2 plants required for pollination. Plant 3 to 6 ft.
apart.
I'll let you know in a couple of years what I think it tastes like.
