Notes
'Elton Heart' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Elton Heart') is a columnar tree for pollinator gardens and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun. It blooms in early to late spring, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. This cherry is grown for eating fresh. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Cat's Pajamas nepeta, Bridal Crown daffodil, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
