Notes
'Pacific Red' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Pacific Red') 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. Early to late spring flowers bring in butterflies and bees. The tree is self-fertile, so you can grow just one. It is grown for fresh eating, and the fruit ripens early in the season.
Pairs well with Incrediball Blush smooth hydrangea, Bridal Crown daffodil, and Common snowberry.
