Easy As Pie bush cherry (Prunus × 'Easy As Pie®') gives you the beauty of spring bloom and the payoff of real fruit, without the size and fuss of a full cherry tree.
In spring, your shrub is covered with showy white flowers. As the season warms, the plant sets plenty of tart red cherries that are excellent for baking, preserves, and other kitchen uses. After harvest, enjoy a tidy, rounded shrub that fits easily into beds, borders, and edible hedges.
For best results, plant in full sun and give it well-drained soil. Water regularly as the plant gets established, then provide consistent moisture during flowering and fruit development, especially in dry spells. A light spring feeding with a balanced fertilizer can support strong growth and better fruiting.
This bush cherry is self-fertile, so you do not need a pollinator to get fruit. Because it blooms and fruits on older wood, avoid heavy pruning, and if you need to shape it, do so right after flowering so you do not remove the season's fruiting wood.
At maturity it stays compact, about 36-60 inches tall with a similar spread (36-60 inches), making it a great choice for smaller landscapes. Hardy in USDA Zones 3-8, it is an easy way to add an edible, ornamental shrub to your garden.
