Notes

'Dun' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Dun') 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 is grown for fresh eating and gives an early picking season. Butterflies and bees visit its blooms from early to late spring. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.

Pairs well with Red Riding Hood tulip, Gro-Low fragrant sumac, and Spiked speedwell.
