Notes
'Frogmore Early' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Frogmore Early') 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. It is grown for fresh eating. Plant a second cherry nearby, since it is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Small-leaved lime, Red elderberry, Mount Hood daffodil, and Singing In The Rain peony.
