Notes
'August Heart' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'August Heart') 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. The columnar habit suits smaller spaces, and butterflies and bees visit the blooms from early to late spring. Plant a second cherry nearby for pollination, because this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Paul Scherer tulip, Mount Hood daffodil, Gro-Low fragrant sumac, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
