Notes
'Red Cluster' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Red Cluster') 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. Its columnar shape suits small spaces. Butterflies and bees visit the spring blooms. You grow it for fresh eating in mid season, and you need a second cherry tree nearby for fruit because it is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Sensation lilac, Thalia daffodil, Lemon Chiffon peony, and Sensitive fern.
