Notes

'BlackPearl' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'BlackPearl') is a tree for food gardens and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun. The upright tree blooms from early to late spring, and bees and butterflies visit the flowers. It is grown for fresh eating, and the fruit ripens early. Plant a second cherry nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile.

Pairs well with Serviceberry, High-bush blueberry, and Big bluestem.
