Notes
'Starblush' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Starblush') is a columnar tree for pollinator gardens and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun. Its narrow, upright shape suits small spaces and tight corners. It blooms from early to late spring. The flowers draw butterflies and bees, so the tree gives pollinators a long season of food.
Pairs well with Goldsturm black-eyed Susan, Paul Scherer tulip, and Gro-Low fragrant sumac.
