Notes
'Belle Agathe' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Belle Agathe') is a columnar 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. You grow it for fresh eating. It blooms from early to late spring, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with William Baffin rose, Thalia daffodil, Lemon Chiffon peony, and Ring of Fire sunflower.
