Notes

'Mazzards' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Mazzards') is a columnar tree for food gardens and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun. It is grown for eating fresh, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers in early to late spring. Plant a second cherry nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile.

Pairs well with Royal Star star magnolia, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Indian grass.
