Notes
'Nimba' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Nimba') 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. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms from early to late spring. The fruit is grown for eating fresh, and it ripens early in the season. This tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Maidenhair tree, Thalia daffodil, and Maiden pink.
