| Prunus tomentosa
Manchu cherryCulture: This species usually becomes irregular with age, requiring pruning to keep it dense and uniform. It will perform best in full sun with acidic to neutral soils that are well-drained. Although many diseases can affect this and other cherries, the problems on this species are usually relatively minor. Spring frosts can damage flowers and rodents chewing on the stems can be a problem. Usage: Often found as a single specimen, this species can also be used as a screen, in a hedge or part of a large border. Because cross-pollination is required for best fruiting, plant at least two plants if you desire good fruit production. |
