Notes
'Smoky Dun' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Smoky Dun') 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. Flowers open in early to late spring and attract butterflies and bees. The tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination. It is grown for eating fresh.
Pairs well with Clustered bellflower, Eastern columbine, Red Riding Hood tulip, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
