Notes
'Ronald's Heart' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Ronald's Heart') 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. The columnar shape fits small spaces, and the fruit is grown for fresh eating. Flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees and butterflies. You will need a second cherry tree nearby for pollination, since it is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Charles Joly lilac, Aromatic aster, and Amazing Grace tulip.
