Notes
'Luisley Early Black' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Luisley Early Black') 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. Its columnar shape suits smaller spaces, and its spring flowers attract butterflies and bees. The fruit is grown for eating fresh, and you will need a second cherry nearby since this one is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Mount Hood daffodil, Blanket flower, and Pinky Winky panicle hydrangea.
