Prunus Easy As Pie™ Bush Cherry

Prunus Easy As Pie™ Bush Cherry is a compact, deciduous shrub from the Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrubs line that matures at 3 to 4½ feet tall and wide. This versatile plant brings charm to edible landscapes with its pink and white blossoms in spring, followed by a display of bright red cherries in mid to late summer, and capped off with eye-catching yellow and orange fall leaves. Self-pollinating, it produces an abundance of tart, juicy cherries perfect for baking, canning, and cooking. Plus, the pollinator-friendly flowers attract bees and butterflies, adding life to the garden.

This Prunus hybrid, or bush cherry, maximizes small-space gardening with its compact form, making it ideal for urban gardens or container growth. Use it as a striking focal point in beds and borders or plant in groups for a productive, fruit-bearing hedge.

Exceptionally hardy and easy to maintain, Easy As Pie thrives in USDA Zone 3 and avoids many of the disease issues common to cherry trees, eliminating the need for spraying. For best results, plant in full sun with well-drained, moist soil, though it can adapt to various soil types, including clay. Best of all, no pruning is required to keep this cherry bush in top form.
