Mayday Cherry
Blue Moon Wisteria

Mayday Cherry is a small deciduous tree known for its early blooming and fragrant white flowers.

A favourite specimen tree on prairie homesteads, Mayday Cherry produces small black berries that are inedible to people but highly desirable to birds.

Blue Moon Wisteria is a striking, flowering vine, and the hardiest of the wisterias. Up to three times in one growing season you can expect showy, fragrant, lavender-blue flowers.

Make sure you plan your site as this vine requires a structure to support its mature weight. Try planting close to a post, trellis, or fence.
