Notes
'Utah Giant' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Utah Giant') 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 shape fits small spaces, and bees and butterflies visit the spring flowers. The fruit is grown for fresh eating and ripens in mid season, so plant a second cherry nearby because this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Blanket flower, Pinky Winky panicle hydrangea, Red Riding Hood tulip, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
