  1. 0:25:06 So, the first one is Hanson's Bush Cherry
  2. 0:25:09 Hanson's Bush Cherry is also know as Sand Cherry, Latin name is Prunus besseyi, don't think I will be giving you all Latin names, but this one is important that I give this to you, because...
  3. 0:25:20 I spent a lot of time trying to find Sand Cherries, and spending quite a bit of money, buying them from Stark Brothers, and I'm gonna say today, if you want REALLY HEALTHY LARGER Sand Cherries - Hanson's Bush Cherry - get them from Stark Brothers. The stuff I got from Stark Brothers, 2-3 feet high, big root systems, and if you want this plant this year, you need to order it soon!
  4. 0:25:46 Gurney's sells it, so Stark and Gurney's are two places that sell it - I'm NOT gonna recommend Gurney's even though I bought some this year, I'm giving you a lesson here - I bought them from Gurney's this year because you get like 3 to an order, and I think they are like $12-14 bucks to an order - they are really small - there is NOTHING wrong with them - okay?
  5. 0:26:04 Nothing at all wrong with them, they just kinda small for the money - 'cause if you cruise on over to a place Cold Stream Farm, and even though they have Sand Cherry in their subject line, right, it's a Sand Cherry Prunus besseyi, when I was running searches for Hanson's Bush Cherry and Sand Cherry, I could not find this page, even though I buy from this company all the time. It never occurred to me that they would have this plant. I always thought it as a really improved variety, hard to find, because the only other two places I found it so far - Gurney's and Stark.
  6. 0:26:34 And bought it from Gurney's because Stark was not taking orders for it, until very recently - like they was out of stock. So instead of taking... like Gurney's was taking orders for spring, because they know they gonna have them... Stark wasn't willing to do it.
  7. 0:26:46 So, I wanted more this year, so bought like 20 of them from Gurney's - well, one day I thought - Prunus besseyi - right, so it it's (spelled out), okay, is the last name in the genus species, so I googled it, boom, cold stream farm comes up, how about this, I can get twen... - if I buy 25 minimum, 1-2 foot tall, which is about what you get, in fact I'd say that is bigger than what you get from Gurney's for a $1.97 a piece, I can 2-3 footers at 25 or more for $3.29 a piece, and if I just want lots of them, I can get 6-12 inch ones, which is about what Gurney's will send you, for $1.50 a piece.
  8. 0:27:31
