Notes
'Noir de Guben' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Noir de Guben') 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 is grown for fresh eating, with good flavor and a mid-season harvest. Flowers open in early to late spring and draw bees and butterflies. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Thalia daffodil, Smooth aster, and Gro-Low fragrant sumac.
