Notes
'Linda' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Linda') 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 tree has a columnar habit and blooms from early to late spring, drawing butterflies and bees. It is grown for fresh eating, and the fruit ripens in mid season. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Ice Follies daffodil, Blanket flower, and Royal Standard hosta.
