Notes
'Buttners Spate Rote Knorpelkirsche' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Buttners Spate Rote Knorpelkirsche') 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. This columnar tree is grown for eating fresh, and the fruit ripens in mid season. It blooms from early to late spring and attracts butterflies and bees. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Paul Scherer tulip, Aromatic aster, and Incrediball Blush smooth hydrangea.
