Happy growing!
This is a excellent type of video, as much as I love your nursery updates and other projects having a deeper dive on one species from someone with your experience is an excellent resource. I would love to see more videos of this style covering both successful and unsuccessful plants.
A friend suggested the nanking cherry to me a couple years ago but I forgot all about it. I think I would enjoy those very much! Especially if they attract pollinators to their flowers and birds to their fruit.
Thanks for hilighting Nanking Cherry. I also live in a very cold and short season climate and it keeps me excited about what I CAN grow here. Hoping to get some fruit from my young Nankings this year😊
My nanking cherrys that i got from you years ago, are now about 7-8 feet tall. They have been flowering for years and are just about finished flowering for this year in northeast Pennsylvania. Now the currants, goosberry, and elderberry are waking up and starting to flower.
The apricot flowers were so beautiful!
love showcases like these, hope you're having a wonderful spring!
After 10 years of waiting I just bought 2 Nanking cherry bushes!
Nice! I hope they grow well for you. I just planted my first 2 Nanking cherry bushes as well 🙂
My Nanking Cherries are still completely dormant. Zone 4 Ontario here. Thanks for your videos.
Our nanking are perhaps 5-7 inches tall, not exactly flowering yet ;)
Lovely Cherry Flowers😊
Looks like you are a few days behind us (I'm in SW Michigan, zone 5), my Nankings are about done but as of yesterday the Amelanchier species and peaches are taking off with their flowering. Nankings have been mostly short-lived for me, I think all of the ones I planted in 2010 are basically dead, and if any are still alive they certainly declined in production, but I keep planting new ones every few years to try to stay ahead of that decline. I have had rodents planting some for me but not as many as they do hazelnuts.
Beautiful to see all the species you’re growing, so different from what I’m growing here in north Florida
Horse chestnut drops lots of waste that will sprout. Also totally inedible
I love those natural apricots; all of mine grow in funny shapes too; just seems to be their thing. That horse chestnut will be great for blooms. Your nanking look totally different than mine; mine have a lot more redness in blooms and lot more paper on stems. I love your title for them; very suiting. They really do tuck in everywhere and birds spread them just where they are needed; like mulberry but even better. I should buy some cornelian cherry from you and some kousa fruit too if you have them. Great work on the landscape.
I have a single Nanking cherry and will definitely be getting another. Thanks for the informative video!
I really enjoy these plant focus vids. I have been looking around NZ for Nanking Cherry and haven't found anything for sale. Soooo... I am wondering if anyone else reading these comments is a NZder and might know of any around New Zealand. We know of a wild patch of wild cherries in the Hurunui (in the middle of the south island of NZ) but I don't know what they are specifically. Their autumn leaves are a gorgeous yellow to orange to red. Would love to find some so if you are in NZ and know of any areas with them growing would you mind sharing their location with us?
I want to see the final product on those almonds. I’m already fascinated by your hazelnut production.
My Nanking cherries are still very tiny, but I did get a couple of flowers on the bigger one. (The little one was pruned by the deer.)
Fingers crossed for at least a little sample fruit!
nanking cherry is one of the hardest to get my hands on here its always sold out
wow very surprising; definitely pick some up from this guy then. Once you get them going you'll have no issues growing more from the pits.!
@@geomundi8333 awesome Thank you for the info! will do that
Hope you have some comfrey salve for that wound! 💪🌱💪
Nanking cherries flowered in February here (in the Netherlands, zone 8). No issues with frost, but it was a bit early for the pollinators. There are a few green cherries on them now and I'll definitely save the seed. They got some dieback, I'm afraid it's Monilinia as a result of the record-breaking wet winter and early spring. Hope they grow out of it! Does anyone have experience with this?
I'd love to plant them off in the distance as well! Unfortunately the only way I'd get to do that is by looking at my garden from my neighbours', neighbours' neighbours' house.
Do you think nanking would do well under a beech canopy forest? Maybe could it even outgrow japanese barberry (😥)? If not, could you recommend something that might work?
I can't say I know, as I don't work with beech or barberry... Sounds like a tough context
Got a couple nanking cherries in a trade for sunchokes this year. Excited to see how they do in my landscape. Question- can shagbark hickory be planted with Juglone species like Walnut, heartnut, and butternut?
Yes. Hickories are closely related and actually produce juglone as well, just less of it.
@@NorthernGoshawk thanks!
That should work just fine. Don't quote me on that but I feel like I see that pairing in the wild all the time
0:31 I think it's 2024 buddy not 2014 lol ;)
I caught that too
Only first year with cherrys purchased from Erik. Pretty flowers but fruit won't be till next year.
I was going to add a Hals Hardy, but heard bad things about the fruit... Thoughts?
Thanks as ever for the inspirational video! LOL After watching your videos on hard wood propagation I am trying my first batch. I'm thinking of moving them into an air prune box once they have rooted. Is that a good strategy?
This is one of my favorite plants!! We originally got 25 bare root in 2018 and made a hedge with them. When it is in bloom it is my favorite part of our homestead!!
We are in southern Maine about 10 miles from coast and just went through two very brutal ice and heavy wet spring snowstorms.
Other than a few snapped branches they are fine!!
I didn’t realize they were so short lived so I better start saving seed this year and growing more because these are our favorite.
We’ve made wine from them (it’s more like a cordial) but it’s so worth the effort!
Have you tried any other methods of propagation?
Thanks for the kind words!
Depending on the cuttings I would encourage them going into nice raised bed soil rather than air prune... Most hardwood cuttings don't want to make a tap root so the air pruning does very little for them... Good luck!
Have you ever tried the variety Gabe or Ian for the nanking cherries bushes ?
We just added in a number of them this year, we'll see how that all works!
Too bad those Nanking cherries don’t grow in warmer climates or I’d be planting some! It looks like they’re rated for hardiness zones 2 to 7.
Would love to try some Nanking but here in south GA they just don’t do well.
Have you tried growing them in that location? What have been the problems? I have read the recommendations to not grow them higher than USDA zone 7, but I have not found anyone that has tried, looking for anyone that has rolled the dice and tried growing them in the south.
@@thomasbarr520 I haven’t risked it, read the heat and humidity can cause issues. I’ve got enough difficulty with what I’m already trying to grow. 😩😂
@@Rubberglass I am growing Nanking cherry in New Orleans, LA. They are very successful ornamentals: vegetative growth is great. Fruit set has been poor and erratic. I have about 2 handfuls of fruit on two bushes right now. Only had one fruit last year that a bird eat. 2 handfuls the 2 years got. I have them in morning sun. I am always looking for someone else in the south to give them a shot and see what they get in some different conditions than where I have grown them. So far I can tell you they handle heat and humidity with ease, I just can’t tell you if they will ever make fruit.
You said that they lost most of their fruitset in the harsh freeze, do they do OK with light frost? (Like - 5°C or so, which is the mid 20s in Fahrenheit)
I can't remember exact numbers but they seem very tolerant of some frost/light freezing
@@edibleacres thank you
Keep an eye on your hand..last think you need is an infection
👍👍💖👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Sounds like a tree we all could want who doesnt like cherry on the cob!
There is a house down the road that has a banking cherry I semi know the dude but he lives in the city and is never at this house. I tried to grab seed last yr but I have zero faith in that. I'm going to have to try better to get a cutting or something
the seeds sprout very well though
@@geomundi8333 I think I left them in the fridge to long and then planted them out in the winter and it got super cold. I've got my fingers crossed but not holding my breath either I'm going to try again for sure and do it differently I know what I did was wrong
What do you hope to get out of the horse chestnut? I'm not an "OMG!!! INVASIVE!!! REMOVE IT!!!" person, but I'm not aware of, well, any real uses for it. Shade, and flowers.
Deer and squirrels will eat the nuts.
Not sure to be honest... Pretty happy tree right there so thats nice as a starting spot. I think it will reveal itself over time?
You can make laundry detergent from the nuts. I have done that sometimes with our horse chestnut.
I really like the content you create.
Sidenote: has anyone told you, that you bare an uncanny resemblance to dr. Jordan Peterson.
That's a bit backhanded...
@@in.der.welt.sein. Why? Granted, Dr Peterson is older but the the resemblance is still there.
@@evesimson5025 they do look physically a bit similar. It's backhanded because Peterson is a charlatan.
