Notes
'Burr's Seedling' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Burr's Seedling') 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. Its columnar shape suits smaller spaces, and bees and butterflies visit the blooms from early to late spring. This tree is grown for eating fresh and ripens early. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Strawberry Sundae panicle hydrangea, Bridal Crown daffodil, Ernest Markham clematis, and Campfire rose.
