I've got a couple of good ones. They both are producing a lot this year - i picked a gallon bucket this morning from one and that was just from the shady side! If you would like some seeds, contact me through my profile.

I bought a nanking tree last summer, it bloomed this spring but I really don't know much about them. How long before they started producing fruit?

Echoes, it was quite a few years before ours did. Dh figured out that late frosts might be the cause, so he started throwing tarps over them if frost threatened. After that, they produced consistently, but some years there are more cherries than others. In spite of our cooler weather earlier, we haven't had a frost since late April or early May, so there were a lot of cherries this year.

They can bloom at an early age but the fruit is more assured if you have a pollinator so at least 2 plants. We had a good crop overall but for sure they are prone to being hit by wind or frost in the spring. I have posted a short info page at the link.

I am still looking for the "big one"! Somewhere someone has selected a large fruited plant and I just need to keep asking the question.

Here is a link that might be useful: Nanking Cherry

I am still looking for seeds or cuttings of Nanking Cherry with exceptional fruit.
Probably getting to late in the season.
