The Montmorency cherry is the most popular tart (sour) cherry variety in North America, prized for its bright red skin, firm, juicy flesh, and perfectly balanced tangy flavor. The fruit is ideal for pies, preserves, sauces, and juices, and even delicious fresh when fully ripe. Its dependable yield and rich flavor make it a favorite among both home gardeners and commercial growers.
This vigorous, self-pollinating tree typically grows 12–18 feet tall with a rounded, spreading canopy and produces showy white blossoms in spring, followed by a mid- to late-summer harvest. The tree is both ornamental and productive, offering a striking display through the seasons.
Hardy in zones 4–7, Montmorency thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. It’s cold-hardy, reliable, and easy to maintain, with consistent annual crops of high-quality fruit. A classic choice for northern growers, the Montmorency Cherry Tree combines beauty, resilience, and exceptional flavor in one outstanding tree.
