Notes
'Giorgia' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Giorgia') 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. The columnar shape fits small spaces, and the spring blooms attract butterflies and bees. You grow it for fresh eating, and you need a second cherry nearby because it is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Thalia daffodil, Claire de Lune peony, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
