Easy As Pie® bush cherry is the best of both worlds: an ornamental beauty for the landscape and a generous provider of delicious fruit. In spring, it greets you with a flurry of snowy-white blossoms that look as though the plant has been dusted in petals. Summer brings glossy, jewel-toned cherries that taste wonderfully tart when fresh, add bright flavor to baked goods, and preserve beautifully for later enjoyment. Once the harvest is done—whether you or the birds get to them first—the season closes with a spectacular display of blazing orange and golden fall color. For anyone who has struggled with the fuss of traditional fruit trees, this little gem is refreshingly simple. No sprays, no complicated pruning, no sprawling orchard required. Its dwarf size makes it easy to tuck into almost any landscape, and the care it asks for is as straightforward as its name suggests. With Easy As Pie®, you can savor beauty in every season and a taste of summer straight from your garden.
