Notes

'Durone Nero 2' 2 sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Durone Nero 2') 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. You grow it for fresh eating. It blooms from early to late spring, and the flowers attract butterflies and bees. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.

Pairs well with Swamp white oak, Incrediball Blush smooth hydrangea, and Mount Hood daffodil.
