Description
The Montmorency Cherry is the most popular tart cherry variety in North America—and for good reason. Its bright red, tangy fruit is perfect for pies, preserves, sauces, and juicing, offering a bold flavor and firm texture that holds up beautifully in baking.
This tree produces abundant crops in late June to early July, with fruit that is both flavorful and easy to harvest. Self-pollinating and cold-hardy, it thrives in zones 5–9 and performs reliably year after year. The tree grows to a mature height of approximately 12–18 feet, developing a broad canopy that’s ideal for high-yield production.
