North Star Cherry

North Star is a dwarf sour cherry variety valued for its cold hardiness and consistent fruit production. Developed at the University of Minnesota, it is self-fertile and well-suited for small spaces or container growing. The fruit is medium-sized, bright red, and tart, ideal for baking and preserves. North Star cherries ripen in early to mid-summer and require about 800 to 1,000 chilling hours.
