Notes
'Late Black Bigarreau' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Late Black Bigarreau') 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 form fits smaller spaces. Grow it for eating fresh. Spring flowers draw butterflies and bees, but this tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Little Hottie panicle hydrangea, Artist tulip, and Bridal Bouquet peony.
