Notes
'Accolade' cherry (Prunus 'Accolade') is a tree for borders, low maintenance plantings, and specimen use. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It blooms in early to late spring, and bees and birds visit it. Give it room, since it grows about 20 to 25 feet tall and wide.
Pairs well with Winter aconite, Common snowdrop, and Ivy-leaved cyclamen.
