A more recent addition to the CSFS nursery offerings, we do not yet have performance data for the Double El district area.
Relatively drought tolerant, it will not tolerate saturated soils, so has potential to aclimate well to our area. Fruits can be used fresh, preserved or dried.
North Dakota State University reports cold hardiness to zone 3 and its’ use locally for small farmstead windbreaks, as well as spring frost damage due to its’ early flowering.
Small tree with pinkish flower in spring, leaves turn yellow-orange in fall. Fruit good for wildlife in fall.
