Notes
'Grosse Schwarze Knorpelkirsche' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Grosse Schwarze Knorpelkirsche') 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 habit and blooms in early to late spring. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers. It is grown for fresh eating, but it is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Pale purple coneflower, Bridal Crown daffodil, and Little Hottie panicle hydrangea.
