Western Sand Cherry vs Japanese QuincePrunus pumila var besseyi Chaenomeles japonica SOLD OUT SOLD OUT
Western Sand Cherry is known for its unique, leathery grey-green foliage and beautiful white blossoms. It is a popular ornamental shrub in parks and front yards. Both you and the wildlife will love its edible small dark red to purple cherries.
Japanese Quince has bright, orange to red showy flowers that bloom in early spring. The flowers appear before the leaves and may continue to bloom after leaves emerge. Flowers grow on old wood, so pruning after flowering will help to promote new growth next spring. They produce yellow-green fruit that taste bitter when eaten raw, typically they are better suited for making preserves. WESTERN SAND CHERRY QUICK FACTSJAPANESE QUINCE QUICK FACTS
