Description

Prunus cerasus 'North Star' is a dwarf sour cherry cultivar developed by the University of Minnesota in 1950. Renowned for its compact size and cold hardiness, this self-pollinating tree produces abundant bright red cherries with red flesh, ideal for pies, jams, and fresh consumption. Its vase-shaped form and manageable height make it suitable for small gardens and urban landscapes. The tree blooms with white flowers in spring, followed by fruit ripening in June. 'North Star' has been recognized for its exceptional winter hardiness and productivity, making it a popular choice among gardeners in colder climates.

Genetic dwarf variety reaching 7–9 feet in height.
Produces large, bright red, tart cherries with red flesh.
Self-pollinating and cold-hardy, suitable for USDA Zones 4–8.
