Hansen's Bush Pie Cherry Tree

Easy-To-Pick Shrub Variety

(8 customer reviews)

Hansen's Bush Pie Cherry Tree is as handsome and hardy as fruiting shrubs come! The branches are covered with pure white flowers in May, absolutely loaded with purplish-black fruit in July. Grows 4-5 feet tall and bears at an early age. For best yield, plant 2 or more.

Cherries are an excellent choice for home gardens. The incredibly juicy, bite-size treats begin to ripen to June- earlier than other tree fruits- and the fruit can be used in so many ways! Many varieties are self-pollinating, too, so you can pick a bountiful crop even if you have room for only one tree.

Zones: 3-8.

Not available in OR.

Good flavor
Reviewed By: Robert Keller (Melvin, Iowa)
I planted a row of these in 1993. They eventually got crowded out by evergreens and the rabbits also chewed them off. They were better flavored and larger than the Nanking. I am reordering and will have to find a way to keep the rabbits out, possibly starve the cats during the winter or buy mass quantities of rat poison on sale.

Great sized plants

I bought three of these this year. They have leaves and look awesome! I could not believe how big they were! Thanks! I am so excited!

Off to a great start
Reviewed By: Sandy (Colorado Springs, CO)
I planted 3 bushes in June and they've all got leaves and are growing like crazy. I also have the Carmine Jewel cherry and these are much hardier.
