Notes
'Black Cluster' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Black Cluster') 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 shape fits small spaces, and butterflies and bees visit the spring flowers. The tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit. It is grown for fresh eating.
Pairs well with Limelight Prime panicle hydrangea, Ice Follies daffodil, and Many Happy Returns peony.
