Notes

'Cerise Libjejice' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Cerise Libjejice') 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 from early to late spring, and bees and butterflies visit the flowers. It is grown for eating fresh, and the fruit ripens in midseason. Plant a second cherry nearby, since it is not self-fertile.

Pairs well with Paprika yarrow, Mount Hood daffodil, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
