Notes
'Compact Lambert' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Compact Lambert') 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 shape suits smaller spaces, and it is grown for fresh eating. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms from early to late spring. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Artist tulip, Bridal Crown daffodil, William Baffin rose, and Hosta.
