    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Its name says it all! Extra-large and delicious red fruit cover this delightful small tree (20-25') which are wonderful for fresh eating or jam (make sur they are fully ripe or they will be quite astringent). The fruits follow happy, bright yellow, early-spring flower clusters. Its pretty-soft yellow fall color only adds to its appeal; although partially self-fertile two varieties ensures good fruit set.
