Although it always seems controversial on this list, I bought them from
Gurney's.

Dan,

Would you mind sharing which company you bought your Nanking Cherries from?
I got some from Fedco this spring, and although I prefer the red ones, the
birds do as well, so some white or pink ones might allow us to harvest more
of the fruit.

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.

I have had 3 Nanking cherries that have pink blossoms. Two years ago I
planted 10 new plants from another source and these are blossoming white.
Would these likely be a different variety of Nanking? Or do some plants
just blossom different colors?
