Notes
'New Star' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'New Star') is a tree for a food garden or a pollinator garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun. Its columnar shape fits small spaces. It blooms in early to late spring, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. This cherry is self-fertile, so one tree can set fruit on its own.
Pairs well with Strawberry Sundae panicle hydrangea, Maiden pink, and Mount Hood daffodil.
