Notes

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

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