Prunus cerasus 'Meteor'
Prunus cerasus ‘Meteor’ is a hardy sour cherry tree particularly well-suited to Quebec winters, producing dark red, tart-flavored sour cherries, prized for jams, pies, jellies, and fresh consumption. This cultivar stands out for its reliable production in cold climates, vigorous white blossoms in spring, and bright green foliage that nicely adorns plantings. With a moderate to rounded habit, it is perfect for edible gardens and family orchards in protected zone 4b or zone 5, especially when planted with a compatible cherry tree to optimize pollination. Adapted to well-drained, fresh to moist soils, ‘Meteor’ combines hardiness, consistent yield, and gustatory quality, while remaining relatively easy to cultivate in Quebec conditions.
