Notes
'Guigne d'Annonay' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Guigne d'Annonay') 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. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers from early to late spring. The fruit ripens in mid season and is grown for eating fresh. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Rowan, Pale purple coneflower, and Ice Follies daffodil.
