Notes
'Hartland' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Hartland') 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 columnar tree blooms from early to late spring, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. The fruit ripens in mid season and is grown for eating fresh. Plant a second cherry nearby, because this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Clustered bellflower, Mount Hood daffodil, and Hummingbird sweet pepperbush.
