Montmorency Pie Cherry

Prunus cerasus Summer. Seedling of Cerise Hâtive or Cerise Commune. Montmorency Valley, France, before 1600. Introduced to the U.S. about 1830.

The most famous of all pie cherries. Long considered the standard of excellence in the U.S. Aromatic firm-fleshed bright red fruit makes a clear light pink juice and is a favorite for processing. Tart but still enjoyable fresh off the tree when fully ripe. Birds love them, too. Surprisingly hardy, showing no signs of dieback in central Maine after the arctic blast of February 2023. In Aroostook County trees fared better than Meteor. Appears to be resistant to brown rot.

Vigorous productive medium-sized upright-spreading tree tolerates a variety of soils. Z3/4. (3–6' grafted bare-root trees)
