PRUNUS 
\. HANSEN’S BUSH CHERRY 
Prunus besseyi 
Because this shrub is almost always featured for its fruit bearing 
qualities, its ornamental value is often overlooked. In fact if it bore 
no fruit at all it would still be worthy of a place in the garden. 
The foliage has an unusual blue-green tinge. The habit of growth 
is graceful and it never gets too large. Best of all, it bursts forth in 
the fall with brilliant purple and crimson. Large black fruits, good 
for preserves. Per 10 8) (Per 100
