I’ve recently read a little about white nanking cherries. According to nurseries they are sweeter and larger than most other nanking varieties. Has anyone grown these? Are they any good for fresh eating?

I planted two this year so it will be While until I can report on this. I am definitely curious myself.

I have the red and I was not impressed in anyway.

I’m wondering if they’ll be sufficiently weird for the birds to not devour them without netting. Probably crazy talk though. :pensive:
