Notes
'Ohio Beauty' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Ohio Beauty') 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 draw butterflies and bees. The fruit is grown for eating fresh, and you need a second cherry nearby because it is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Cat's Pajamas nepeta, Bridal Crown daffodil, and William Baffin rose.
