Notes
'Caroon' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Caroon') 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 habit fits in tight spaces, and its spring blooms attract butterflies and bees. The tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit. It is grown for eating fresh.
Pairs well with Ice Follies daffodil, Incrediball Blush smooth hydrangea, and Arizona Sun blanket flower.
