Notes
'Wellington A' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Wellington A') is a tree for pollinator gardens and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun. Its columnar habit fits a narrow space, and bees and butterflies visit the spring flowers. The tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination. It is grown for fresh eating and picked late in the season.
Pairs well with Blue Muffin arrowwood viburnum, Ice Follies daffodil, Pussytoes, and Virginia rose.
