Notes
'Arcina' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Arcina') 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. Arcina is grown for eating fresh and has a columnar habit that fits a narrow space. It blooms from early to late spring and attracts butterflies and bees. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Ice Follies daffodil, Claire de Lune peony, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
