Notes

'Adriana' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Adriana') is a tree for food gardens and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun. Its columnar habit suits small spaces, and bees and butterflies visit the blooms in early to late spring. The fruit is grown for fresh eating and ripens late in the season. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.

Pairs well with Many Happy Returns peony, Limelight Prime panicle hydrangea, Bridal Crown daffodil, and Ernest Markham clematis.
