Notes
'Maiden's Blush' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Maiden's Blush') 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 bees and butterflies visit the spring flowers. The early cherries are grown for fresh eating. This tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Pinky Winky panicle hydrangea, Red Riding Hood tulip, and Sensitive fern.
