Notes
'Garden Bing' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Garden Bing') 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 small yards, and it blooms from early to late spring to attract butterflies and bees. The cherries are grown for eating fresh and ripen in mid season. The tree is self-fertile, so one tree can set fruit.
Pairs well with Strawberry Sundae panicle hydrangea, Mount Hood daffodil, and Red elderberry.
