Question the history of a cherry or know some history?

They must have been the worst possible fruiting strain of Nanking out there. TINY little fruits, with barely a rim of pulp surrounding the pit. I don’t think even the birds bother with them… but I’m not often over in that area of the orchard to even observe them, when in fruit.

I think they need two genetically different strains to do well… im no expert but it makes sense.

Is Nanking Cherry self pollinating?

I think the difference in Nankings is that they are all from seed so there is enough genetic variation to cross polinate unlike grafted trees of the same variety that are genetically identical.
