Description

Who has room – or time – for a big cherry tree that needs special pruning and spraying? Easy As Pie bush cherry is small, super floriferous and fruitful, and needs virtually no care. Showy white flowers in early spring give way to an abundance of bright red tart cherries in summer, perfect for pies, preserves, compotes, and sauces. Red-orange fall foliage extends the season of interest and makes it a landscape-worthy edible.
