Notes
'Namare' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Namare') 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. It has a columnar habit and blooms in early to late spring, which attracts butterflies and bees. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby. The fruit ripens late and is grown for eating fresh.
Pairs well with Mount Hood daffodil, Pinky Winky panicle hydrangea, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
