Notes
'Wellington B' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Wellington B') 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 fits small spaces, and bees and butterflies visit the blooms from early to late spring. The cherries are grown for fresh eating and ripen in mid season. Plant a second cherry nearby, because this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Blue Muffin arrowwood viburnum, Mount Hood daffodil, and Virginia rose.
