Notes
'Sutton's Prolific' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Sutton's Prolific') 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. The columnar tree blooms from early to late spring, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. This cherry is grown for eating fresh. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Pagoda dogwood, Paprika yarrow, Bridal Crown daffodil, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
