Notes
'Bigarreau Napoleon' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Bigarreau Napoleon') is a columnar 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. Spring flowers open from early to late spring and attract butterflies and bees. The cherries are grown for fresh eating and ripen early in the season. This tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Thalia daffodil, Campfire rose, and China Town tulip.
