My guess is that the robins don't see the white fruit as ripe. That was the reason I ordered a white variety in the first place. I have found, though, that in my area the birds don't bother even the red Nankings because the small fruits are hidden in among the leaves.

Regards,

Jay

Hi, If my memory is correct, Edible Landscaping was selling 3 different
lines of white Nanking which were labeled, at one point, as #1, #2 and #3 due
to needing two for pollination. I've grown both #1 and #2 and both produced
sweet, delicious fruit for me, although flavor would have to be labeled as
mild. I've been very happy with them, although one of the plants died two
years ago. The very best feature is that the robins don't seem to pay
attention to them, allowing a relatively easy harvest. I think the robins
are focused on another fruit at the time these Nankings are ripening.

Hi,


Does anyone have a superior-fruiting Nanking-cherry?
(even a seedling)





Edible Landscaping seems to have one or more white-fruited
(supposedly sweet - I didn't find that to be the case for
one that I received) cultivars or seed-propogated
seedlings.
