Notes
'Greenstem Black' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Greenstem Black') is a columnar 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 is grown for fresh eating, and the fruit ripens early. The tree blooms from early to late spring and attracts butterflies and bees. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Red Riding Hood tulip, Aromatic aster, and Musk mallow.
