Notes
'Tulare' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Tulare') is a 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. It grows in a columnar shape, so it fits in tight spaces. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms from early to late spring. This cherry is grown for eating fresh, and it needs a second cherry tree nearby for pollination because it is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Mount Hood daffodil, Little Hottie panicle hydrangea, and Blush peony.
