Notes
'Reidern 2nd Early Black' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Reidern 2nd Early Black') 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 smaller spaces, and bees and butterflies visit the blooms from early to late spring. You can pick the fruit in midseason for eating fresh. Plant a second cherry nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Small-leaved lime, Thalia daffodil, and Sensation lilac.
