Product Description

Large fruits with thin skins and red flesh
Excellent for pies and cobblers
Fruit is crack resistant
Naturally dwarfed, it grows 10-12 ft. tall
Reliable and dependable producer

The best pie or sour-type cherry! The fruits are sweet with a tart component that gives them a robust flavor. The virtually trouble-free, naturally dwarfed tree grows 10-12 ft. tall, producing heavy yields of large cherries after two years. The crack-resistant fruits are a light red color, with thin skins and red flesh and they're excellent for fresh eating, freezing, making pies, cobblers and preserves. The cherries have a small, free pit and retain their flavor and texture on the tree for up to 2 weeks after ripening. North Star is a very cold-hardy, self-pollinating variety that produces dependable annual yields and has excellent resistance to brown rot and leaf spot. Zones 4-8.

Why buy a Deluxe package - Deluxe fruit trees include 2 oz. Quik-Cal Pelletized Calcium to enhance fruit quality, 12 oz. bag of Fruit Tree Food Starter Formula, easy-to-use tree ties, a premium tree guard to protect the trunk from gnawing pests, mowers and weed trimmers.

NOTE: We are unable to ship our trees to PO Boxes at this time.
