Notes
'Kansas Sweet' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Kansas Sweet') 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 shape fits small spaces. Flowers open in early to late spring and attract butterflies and bees. It is grown for eating fresh, but it is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Paprika yarrow, Blanket flower, Ice Follies daffodil, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
