Notes

'Ramon Oliva' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Ramon Oliva') is a columnar 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. It is grown for fresh eating and blooms from early to late spring, attracting butterflies and bees. Plant a second cherry nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile.

Pairs well with Sensation lilac, Mount Hood daffodil, and Lemon Chiffon peony.
