Pin Cherry is a small tree that produces clusters of white blossoms in spring followed by bright red berries that ripen through the summer. The attractive red color of the leaves in the fall is an added bonus.
The fruit is quite sour when eaten fresh but is excellent when cooked into jam or jelly. Birds love the berries and will be attracted to your property.
These seedlings are greenhouse grown peat plugs transplanted to our bareroot fields for a second growing season. Better branched with greater root mass than container seedlings.
Great fall colors!
