Notes
'White Heart' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'White Heart') is a columnar 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 blooms from early to late spring. The tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination. You can grow it for fresh eating, and the fruit ripens in mid season.
Pairs well with Showy milkweed, Mount Hood daffodil, Spiked speedwell, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
