Notes
'Late Amber' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Late Amber') 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. It is grown for eating fresh, and the fruit ripens in mid season. Blooms open in early to late spring and attract butterflies and bees. This tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Hansa rose, Bridal Bouquet peony, Artist tulip, and Royal fern.
