The Montmorency cherry is the most popular sour cherry in America and it is the classic pie cherry tree. Montmorency cherries have proven over the years to be outstanding for cooking and pie-making. The tree is extremely winter hardy and very heavy bearing. It ripens in early July.

The Montmorency cherry tree is self fertile and produces large sized, dark red, cherries with good flavor and quality. Flesh is clear and yellow in color.

Trees can be kept to any height by summer pruning.

Reviewer: Linda B
Since my childhood in Michigan, Ive loved sour cherries. When we moved to Utah, I found a Montmorency cherry tree at Home Depot. We planted it, and for the first two years, it produced a little fruit. The birds loved it! Finally, on the third summer, the tree exploded with fruit; with cherries occurring all the way from the tip of each branch to the trunk. Sadly, we were transferred to Texas that year, but I made the new homeowners promise not to cut down my cherry tree. Ill bet theyre glad! Cant wait to plant another one here in Texas!

  MONTMORENCY CHERRY in Zone 3?, 6/24/2007 11:44:02 PM
Reviewer: Barry Sewall
From reading the description on the CHERRY MONTMORENCY TREE on Nature Hills Nursery I found that the horticulture zone of this tree is Zone 4. Although I bought the same type of tree from Musser Forests and the climate Zone that they had posted was Zone 3-9. Im just hoping that this Cherry tree will survive the winters here in Larson, WI.

When I was a teenager in Salina, Ks., My house had two of these trees. I used to enjoy eating them right off the tree. They were great for pies too. I am living in the Ft. Worth area in Texas now and just ordered one of these trees a little over a week ago. As soon as it was delivered, I planted it out back. In just one week this tree has really shown alot of new growth. I am really excited about having it. Now I have a peach tree, two plum trees, a cherry tree, and blackberries. I will be making alot of preserves and pies in the near future. Eric Hurst, Texas
