Notes
'Vittoria' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Vittoria') 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. Its columnar shape suits small spaces, and it blooms from early to late spring to draw butterflies and bees. You can pick the fruit in mid season for eating fresh. Plant a second cherry nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Charles Joly lilac, Paul Scherer tulip, and Hosta.
