Notes
'Bradbourne Black' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Bradbourne Black') is a columnar tree for food gardens and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). Give it full sun. The tree blooms from early to late spring, and its flowers attract butterflies and bees. The slim, upright shape suits smaller yards, so you can fit it into a tight spot. Plant it where you can enjoy the spring blossoms up close.
Pairs well with William Baffin rose, Claire de Lune peony, and Thalia daffodil.
