Notes
'Bigarreau Moreau' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Bigarreau Moreau') 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. It blooms in early to late spring, and bees and butterflies visit the flowers. This cherry is grown for eating fresh, but it is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Ice Follies daffodil, Limelight Prime panicle hydrangea, and Artist tulip.
