Notes
'Regina' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Regina') 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. Bees and butterflies visit the spring flowers. The columnar form grows fast and suits smaller spaces. Jork Fruit Experiment Station bred it, and you need a second cherry tree nearby for pollination, such as Van or Stella.
Pairs well with Red elderberry, Mount Hood daffodil, and Cat's Pajamas nepeta.
