The fruit also works well in desserts and preserves, while the spring bloom brings a cloud of white flowers to the edible landscape. This variety is especially compelling for smaller gardens, where space may allow only one cherry, and for mild-winter areas that cannot reliably satisfy the chill needs of traditional northern cultivars.
