It is valued for its early spring display of small white flowers, which give way to bright red, tart cherries that are relished by birds and can be used in jellies and preserves. Pin Cherry is an excellent choice for naturalized areas, woodland edges, and wildlife gardens, where it provides food and cover for birds and pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a pioneer species, Pin Cherry quickly colonizes disturbed sites and helps stabilize soil. Its glossy green foliage turns attractive shades of yellow and red in autumn, adding seasonal interest to the landscape. This listing offers 10 seeds of this versatile wild edible tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-growing pioneer tree or large shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShowy clusters of white flowers in spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall, bright red cherries that are edible but tart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts birds and pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFall foliage color in shades of yellow and red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prunus pensylvanica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deciduous tree or shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, sandy or loamy soil; tolerates poor soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; drought-tolerant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, spreading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20-40 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cold stratification recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15-20 feet apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo grow Pin Cherry from seed, cold stratify the seeds for 60-90 days to break dormancy. Sow seeds about 1\/4 inch deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination can be slow and uneven; be patient. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in a sunny location. Harden off before planting outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePin Cherry prefers full sun but tolerates some shade. Water regularly during the first year to help establish a deep root system. Once established, it is relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Prune as needed to maintain shape or remove dead wood. Note that Pin Cherry is short-lived (often 20-30 years) but readily self-seeds in suitable conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 Pin Cherry Tree Seeds (Prunus pensylvanica).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836009709878,"sku":"FOLIA2-1727","price":42.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7088543346_6ecg.jpg?v=1793097196","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/10-pin-cherry-tree-seeds-wild-edible-prunus-pensylvanica","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
