Notes
'Merton Bounty' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Merton Bounty') 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 blooms from early to late spring, and bees and butterflies visit the flowers. It is grown for fresh eating. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Incrediball Blush smooth hydrangea, Knapweed, and Silver Parrot tulip.
