Notes
'Chapman B' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Chapman B') 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. Blooms open from early to late spring and attract butterflies and bees. The cherries are grown for eating fresh and ripen in mid season. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second sweet cherry nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Amazing Grace tulip, Paprika yarrow, and Hansa rose.
