Notes
'Mermat' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Mermat') 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 columnar tree fits small spaces, and it is grown for fresh eating. Butterflies and bees visit the spring blooms. Plant a second cherry nearby, because this one is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Strawberry Sundae panicle hydrangea, Thalia daffodil, and Knapweed.
