When I got home today, I noticed small red berries all over the nanking cherry bushes. I purchased them from Gurney's when we first moved here about 3 years ago. This is the first year they have fruited. The fruit are suprisingly good. The first few fruits that showed up last week were damaged by a fruit maggot and as you can imagine I was pretty grossed out.
Today the fruits today were much better, no maggots for one and very plump. They were also suprising sweet, but not as sweet as a "sweet cherry". They are about the size of a dime and extremely prolific. I can't wait to have nanking cherry wine in the upcoming years.
