Notes
'Reis Black' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Reis Black') is a tree for pollinator gardens and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun. It has a columnar habit, so it fits small spaces. Bees and butterflies visit the spring flowers, and you can grow it for fresh eating. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Sensation lilac, Thalia daffodil, and Aromatic aster.
