Notes
'Kirtland's Mary' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Kirtland's Mary') 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. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms from early to late spring. The fruit ripens late in the season and is grown for fresh eating. Plant a second cherry nearby, because this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Hansa rose, Paprika yarrow, and Bridal Crown daffodil.
