Notes

'Yellow Glass' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Yellow Glass') 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. It is grown for fresh eating, and the fruit ripens in mid season. Spring flowers open from early to late spring and attract butterflies and bees. This tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second cherry nearby for pollination.

Pairs well with Thalia daffodil, Spiked speedwell, and Campfire rose.
