Notes
'Sandra' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Sandra') 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 tree fits small spaces, and bees and butterflies visit its spring flowers. The fruit ripens late and is grown for fresh eating. Sandra is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Blue Muffin arrowwood viburnum, Pale purple coneflower, and Bridal Crown daffodil.
