Notes
'Early Burlat' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Early Burlat') 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. It blooms from early to late spring, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. The columnar fruit tree is grown for fresh eating and ripens early. Plant a second cherry nearby, since this one is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Thalia daffodil, Hansa rose, and Gooseneck loosestrife.
