Notes
'Ferrovia' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Ferrovia') 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 fits narrow spaces, and the flowers open in early to late spring to attract butterflies and bees. The fruit is grown for fresh eating. This tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Cat's Pajamas nepeta, Ice Follies daffodil, and Pinky Winky panicle hydrangea.
