Notes
'Early Red Maraly' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Early Red Maraly') 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 upright-spreading, vase-shaped form grows at a moderate rate. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms in early to late spring. The early fruit is grown for fresh eating, and you will need a second cherry tree nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Bridal Crown daffodil, William Baffin rose, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
