Notes
'Waterloo' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Waterloo') 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. The fruit is grown for fresh eating, and you need a second cherry nearby for pollination. Thomas Knight bred it.
Pairs well with Charles Joly lilac, Ice Follies daffodil, Knapweed, and Blue Muffin arrowwood viburnum.
