Notes
'Strawberry Heart' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Strawberry Heart') 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 form fits smaller spaces, and butterflies and bees visit the blooms from early to late spring. The cherries are grown for eating fresh. Plant a second cherry nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Pagoda dogwood and Bridal Crown daffodil.
