Notes
'Sue' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Sue') 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 shape suits small spaces, and butterflies and bees visit the spring flowers. Grow it for fresh eating. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Pagoda dogwood, Hansa rose, and Bridal Crown daffodil.
