We have 3 Nanking Cherry plants.  These were bought from a dealer as bare root plants, but they were 
from seed.
Interestingly, although the blossoms appear mostly white, the highlights on one are almost red, 
another is pink, and the third is almost white.
The fruit color matches the blossoms, with the reddest blossom producing the reddest berries with 
more tartness, the nearly white blossoms
producing a nearly white berry which tastes much sweeter, and the intermediate blossom producing 
berries that are half way in between.
