Default [IBC] Prunus besseyi, Western Sand Cherry

Does anyone have experience with this tree? Any special care considerations?

I'll be grateful for any help.

Have a nice day.

Pat



Not with bessyi, but with other shrubby Prunus species, particularly P. depenna and P. maritima. They *look* like they'd make good bonsai, but they are a little unpredictable, losing branches that you'd like to keep. So I'd treat them like you'd treat a
quince- grow them in a style where lopping off a big branch won't be noticeable!

Nina.
