Notes
'Malizia' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Malizia') 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, so it fits in tight spaces. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers from early to late spring. You pick the cherries late in the season and grow them for fresh eating.
Pairs well with Strawberry Sundae panicle hydrangea, Mount Hood daffodil, and Hosta.
