Notes
'Grylls' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Grylls') is a tree for a food garden and a pollinator garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun. Its columnar shape suits smaller spaces, and it blooms from early to late spring while butterflies and bees visit the flowers. It is grown for eating fresh and is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Rowan, Pale purple coneflower, Ice Follies daffodil, and Musk mallow.
