Notes
'Rodmersham Seedling' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Rodmersham Seedling') is a tree for a food garden and a pollinator garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun. It grows in a columnar shape and is grown for fresh eating. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms from early to late spring. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Small-leaved lime, Charles Joly lilac, and Aromatic aster.
