Notes
'Yates Seedling' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Yates Seedling') 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. The columnar shape fits small spaces. Flowers open in early to late spring and attract butterflies and bees. It is grown for fresh eating, but it is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Showy milkweed, Thalia daffodil, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
