Sour Bush Cherries
Discover the Delicious Delight of Tart Cherries: Nature's Sweet & Tangy Treasure!
🍒 Sour Bush Cherries
At Dee’s Nutz and Berries, we’re proud to offer a unique and flavorful experience for every visitor—and one of the stars of our early summer harvest is the sour bush cherry. Also known as Nanking cherries or Prunus tomentosa, these small, vibrant-red fruits grow on compact shrubs and are beloved for their bold, tart flavor and incredible versatility in the kitchen.
Native to Asia but right at home on our Southern Wisconsin farm, bush cherries offer a tangy taste reminiscent of traditional cherries, with a distinctive sourness that adds a refreshing zing to everything from jams to cobblers.

Tips to Make the Most of Your U-Pick Adventure
- First, look for bush cherries that are deep red and slightly soft to the touch. These are the ripest and sweetest!
- Then, gently pluck the cherries from the stem to avoid damaging the plant.
- Also, be sure to check the undersides of branches, as some of the best bush cherries hide there.
- Next, taste a few cherries as you pick to ensure they meet your sweetness preference.
- Finally, bring a container with a wide opening to make filling it easier.
