Notes

'Sealand 2nd Early Black' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Sealand 2nd Early Black') 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 blooms from early to late spring, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. The fruit is grown for eating fresh, but the tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.

Pairs well with Clustered bellflower, Virginia rose, and Ice Follies daffodil.
