Notes
'Goodnestone Black' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Goodnestone Black') 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 tree has a columnar shape and blooms from early to late spring, which draws butterflies and bees. Fruit ripens in mid season and is grown for eating fresh. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with American hornbeam, Aromatic aster, and China Town tulip.
