Notes
'St Margaret' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'St Margaret') 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. Its columnar habit fits in tight spaces, and butterflies and bees visit its blooms from early to late spring. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination. The fruit is grown for fresh eating.
Pairs well with Thalia daffodil, Scentara Double Blue lilac, and American Gold Rush black-eyed Susan.
