Default Re: Cherry Of The Rio Grande

I was given a couple of fruits last summer but was not impressed; they tasted like cough syrup to me--bad cough syrup--which is why I didn't sav the seeds. Trying to push the zone and knowing that cherry trees will absolutely not produce here, I purchased (cheap) 6 Nanking cherry bushes. I raised them in MD. They're not for eating (well you can but they have huge honking pits) or pies but make delicious cordials and jam/jelly. Will they survive and thrive? We'll see. They did well in my very hot 7 or cool 8 in full sun so shading them here might could work.
