Notes
'Pointed Heart' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Pointed Heart') is a columnar tree for a food garden and a pollinator garden. 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, and the fruit ripens early in the season. Blooms open from early to late spring and attract butterflies and bees. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Autumn Gold maidenhair tree, Paul Scherer tulip, and Limelight Prime panicle hydrangea.
