Notes
'Carnation C' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Carnation C') is a columnar 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. It blooms in early to late spring, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. The cherries are grown for eating fresh and ripen in mid season. This tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Ice Follies daffodil, Gro-Low fragrant sumac, and Arizona Sun blanket flower.
