Description: 5 Sand Cherry Seeds (Prunus besseyi) Edible Fruit Tree Shrub FREE SHIPPING USAGrow Zones: 3,4,5,6,7,8 Other Names: Prunus pumilla var besseyi, Western Sand Cherry Sand cherry broad-leaf edible fruit trees boast dark, grey-green leaves, featuring white flowers in the spring and deliciously sweet plump, and round cherry fruits that follow shortly thereafter. These shrubs also feature a medium growth rate. They grow into a 4-6 ft tall tree (and equally as wide) unless they are trimmed or hedged and kept at shrub height. The outward branching habits of sand cherry trese/shrubs makes them an ideal choice for a hedgerow application! The prunus pumilla var. besseyi tolerates cold, wind, drought and heat with ease... and is thus a good fit for many climates. Sand Cherry Growing: How to Care For Prune sand cherry in winter and fertilize in spring for new growth. A general purpose 10-10-10 fertilizer will do fine. Pro tip: When pruning, resist pruning more than 1/3rd off of the shrub at a time. Germination Procedure: First, soak seeds in glass of water for 2 days, changing out the water every 12 hours. Plant in late summer for germination the following spring. If not planting in the late summer, warm stratify the seeds for 3 months then cold stratify seeds for 3 months (in the freezer) prior to sowing. Seeds will crack open in the cold when they are germinating.
