Notes
'Germersdorfer' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Germersdorfer') 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. This columnar cherry is grown for fresh eating, and it is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Mount Hood daffodil, Gro-Low fragrant sumac, and Claire de Lune peony.
