Notes
'Turkish Black' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Turkish Black') is a tree for a food garden and a pollinator garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun. It has a columnar habit and blooms in early to late spring, which draws butterflies and bees. The fruit is grown for eating fresh. This tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Thalia daffodil, Pinky Winky panicle hydrangea, Red Riding Hood tulip, and Sensitive fern.
