Notes
'Lambert' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Lambert') 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. Lambert is grown for fresh eating. It has a columnar habit and blooms from early to late spring, which draws butterflies and bees. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Black chokeberry, Mount Hood daffodil, and Hosta.
