Notes
'Royalton' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Royalton') is a columnar 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. It is grown for eating fresh. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers from early to late spring. This tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Black chokeberry, Mount Hood daffodil, American cranberrybush, and Hosta.
