Companion Planting & Garden Value: Sweet Cherry

Prunus avium

Spacing: needs about 16 square feet per plant. Mature height: 16-20 ft.

Pollination

Not self-fertile: a single plant won't reliably set fruit. Most sweet cherry varieties are self-unfruitful and need a second, compatible variety blooming at the same time within about 100 ft; a few named varieties (Stella, Lapins, Sweetheart, Black Gold) are self-fruitful and can serve as a universal pollen source for the others.
