Notes
'Star Stella' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Star Stella') is a tree for a food garden or pollinator garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun. It grows in a narrow, columnar shape. Bees and butterflies visit its flowers from early to late spring. This tree is grown for fresh eating, but it is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Rowan, Thalia daffodil, and American Gold Rush black-eyed Susan.
