North Star Tart Cherry
Prunus cerasus ‘North Star’ is a hardy and very productive dwarf sour cherry tree, well-suited to Quebec conditions where it is appreciated for its dark red, tart cherries, excellent for pies, preserves, jellies, and pastries, while also being appealing for fresh consumption. This cultivar is distinguished by a compact and bushy habit, facilitating cultivation in home orchards, gardens, and small spaces while offering consistent yields. Its white spring blossoms attract pollinators before the appearance of its bright green foliage. ‘North Star’ prefers full sun exposure and well-drained, cool to moist soil, and remains a reliable choice for Quebec gardeners looking for a productive, easy-to-grow variety adapted to our cold winters.
