Notes
'Hudson' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Hudson') is a tree for food gardens and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun. It is grown for fresh eating, and the fruit ripens late in the season. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination. Bees and butterflies visit the spring flowers.
Pairs well with Blueberry, American persimmon, and Big bluestem.
