Notes
'Rancho flowering' sargent cherry (Prunus sargentii 'Rancho flowering') is a tree for specimen planting, pollinator gardens, and low maintenance landscapes. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows at a rapid rate and forms a dense shape. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit it, and it tolerates drought once established.
