In early spring, it produces a profusion of white blossoms from deep pink buds, creating a striking floral display before leaves emerge. The fruit ripens in early summer and is creamy-white to translucent with a mild, sweet flavor and low acidity—ideal for fresh eating or making preserves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"478\" data-end=\"808\"\u003eThis selection grows as a dense, multi-stemmed shrub, typically reaching 4 to 8 feet tall and wide. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerates drought once established, and is hardy to USDA Zone 3. Like most Nanking cherries, ‘Ian’ is not self-fertile and requires another Nanking variety nearby for good fruit set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"810\" data-end=\"829\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"810\" data-end=\"827\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"830\" data-end=\"1189\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"830\" data-end=\"886\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"886\"\u003eAbundant white blooms in early spring from pink buds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"887\" data-end=\"946\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"889\" data-end=\"946\"\u003eCreamy-white, sweet, low-acid fruit ripens early summer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"947\" data-end=\"1000\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"949\" data-end=\"1000\"\u003eDense, upright habit; grows 4–8 ft. tall and wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1065\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1003\" data-end=\"1065\"\u003eCold-hardy to USDA Zone 3; drought-tolerant once established\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1124\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1068\" data-end=\"1124\"\u003eRequires cross-pollination with another Nanking cherry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1125\" data-end=\"1189\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1127\" data-end=\"1189\"\u003eIdeal for edible hedges, wildlife gardens, or ornamental use\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1338\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1219\"\u003eNanking White Cherry ‘Ian’\u003c\/em\u003e combines spring beauty with summer fruit, making it a valuable addition to cold-climate landscapes and edible gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The GreenHouse","offers":[{"title":"#2","offer_id":45799164707007,"sku":"91643B","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1861\/1429\/files\/nanking-white-cherry-ian2.webp?v=1782762134","url":"https:\/\/sandcreeknursery.net\/products\/ian-nanking-white-cherry","provider":"Sand Creek Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
