Notes
'Parkhill' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Parkhill') 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 suits smaller spaces, and bees and butterflies visit the spring flowers. The fruit is grown for eating fresh and is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Common snowberry, Ice Follies daffodil, and Fanal astilbe.
