They say life is just a bowl of cherries...and Easy As Pie bush cherry (Prunus x) will give you bowls and bowls of fresh fruit every summer without any spraying or fussy pruning. This is an easy-going, easy-growing bush cherry that takes up just a fraction of the space as a cherry tree but produces abundant crops of very juicy, very tart cherries. It also has none of the disease issues that plague cherry trees, making it an easy choice for any sunny spot in a landscape or garden. Plant one as a standalone, as no pollinator is needed, or imagine an edible hedge with enough fruit for cooking, baking, and canning. White flowers in spring and vivid yellow and orange fall foliage keep it interesting all season long.
