Notes
'Turkey Heart' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Turkey 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. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers from early to late spring. Plant a second cherry nearby, because this tree is not self-fertile. The fruit ripens in mid season and is grown for eating fresh.
Pairs well with Thalia daffodil, Blush peony, and Love-in-a-mist.
