Notes
'Victoria Black' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Victoria Black') 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. It has a columnar habit, so it fits in tight spaces. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms from early to late spring. This cherry is grown for eating fresh, and it needs another cherry nearby for pollination because it is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Sensation lilac, Bridal Crown daffodil, Strawberry Sundae panicle hydrangea, and Royal fern.
