Notes

'Glacier' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Glacier') 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 habit suits smaller spaces. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms from early to late spring. You can grow it for eating fresh.

Pairs well with Red elderberry, Paprika yarrow, and Ice Follies daffodil.
