Description

Originating from Montmorency Valley, France circa 1600s, introduced to the U.S. in the 1800s the Stark® Montmorency Pie Cherry tree remains the most popular cherry tree in the United States. This tree produces a high volume of sweet and tangy cherries perfect for mouth-watering pies and cobblers. The firm texture of this yellow fleshed cherry makes it ideal for fresh eating or drying.

The Stark® Montmorency Pie Cherry tree has beautiful white blossoms in spring and produces an abundant number of cherries that ripen in summer. This self-pollinating tree thrives in loamy well drained soil. Stark® Montmorency Pie Cherry tree is a cold hardy tree which can be grown into zone 4. The tree does best in full sun and while self-pollinating a pollinating partner can improve cherry production. See below for a recommended pollinating partner and plant within 100’ of the Montmorency cherry.
