Notes
'Nutberry black' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Nutberry black') 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 shape fits small spaces, and the spring blooms attract butterflies and bees. The cherries are grown for eating fresh. This tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with William Baffin rose, Cat's Pajamas nepeta, Red Riding Hood tulip, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
