The kids were the first to discover the Nanking cherry bush years ago prompting us to quickly deduce what, exactly they proclaimed tasted so good. Nanking Cherry is a medium to large, multi-stemmed shrub from China that produces small, shiny, red berries with a juicy, true cherry flavor – it is a true bush cherry. And years later the kids are on the daily monitoring program - getting them even before the birds.
