Notes
'Early Cluster' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Early Cluster') 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 small spaces, and bees and butterflies visit the blooms from early to late spring. The cherries are grown for eating fresh. This tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Smooth aster, Thalia daffodil, and Maiden pink.
