Notes
'Halton Black' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Halton 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. Its columnar shape suits small spaces. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms from early to late spring. The cherries are grown for eating fresh, but this tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Clustered bellflower, Ice Follies daffodil, and Brown-eyed Susan.
