Notes
'Werder's Early Black' sweet cherry (Prunus avium Werders Early Black) is a tree for the food garden and the pollinator garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun. It is grown for eating fresh. The tree has a columnar habit and blooms from early to late spring, which draws bees and butterflies. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Virginia rose, Pyrethrum, and Mount Hood daffodil.
