Notes

'Angela' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Angela') 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 shape fits small spaces, and bees and butterflies visit the spring flowers. The cherries ripen early and are grown for fresh eating. Plant a second cherry nearby, because this tree is not self-fertile.

Pairs well with Ice Follies daffodil, Cat's Pajamas nepeta, and Little Hottie panicle hydrangea.
