Why plant USDA Organic Montmorency Sour Cherry?

This tart cherry is absolutely delicious in pies and jams. Its fruit, which ripens in June, is bright red with yellow flesh, and it stays bright red when dried or frozen. You can also expect beautiful white flowers during the summer months!

The Montmorency Sour Cherry achieved its name by the location it was developed, in the Montmorency Valley in France. Cultivated in the late 17th century, this sour cherry variety continues to be the most popular sour cherry in the world, accounting for more than 95% if all sour cherry production.

How to use USDA Organic Montmorency Sour Cherry in the landscape?

As a self-fertile cherry tree, this can produce fruit even if it's planted alone - although, if you want the best bang for your buck, we always recommend planting two! You may see some fruit on your stand alone Montmorency, but a Montmorency planted with a partner will produce a magnificent harvest of sour tasting fruits! Better yet, it also has the most gorgeous bloom! Plant for fruit, or plant for beauty! No matter where this gorgeous tree ends up in your landscape, you and the birds will be happy!

What does it mean to be USDA Organically grown?

  • USDA Organic crops are grown exclusively on land that has gone without having non-USDA Organic approved substances applied for three years.
  • No pesticides for us, please! Organically grown crops are highly regulated on what can and cannot be used for pest control—worried about harsh chemicals that have been sprayed on your plant? There is only a small number of approved synthetic chemicals that are allowed to be used. Otherwise, farmers use strict biological, mechanical, and physical management practices.
  • Not just any type of seeds are used to grow and harvest organic plants: farmers can only use organic seeds or organically raised seedlings in their organic fields.
  • Only the best handling is allowed! Organic and non-organic crops are not allowed to be commingled or near each other. Cross-contamination can occur, botching the organic plant's purity due to non-organic substances that could have been sprayed on non-organic harvests; this would cause the organic plant to be considered compromised.
  • Fields are carefully cultivated through crop rotation and proper tillage practices to ensure that the soil and the soil's nutrients are kept at a happy balance. Animal manure, not sludge, is allowed to help infuse the soil with nitrogen to support the growth of the organic crops.

How To Plant USDA Organic Montmorency Sour Cherry

As a relatively easy tree to grow, the Montmorency will do best in a full sun location and with well draining soil, but don't forget how widely adaptable it truly is! In the first season you may not see a large fruit production, although planting with a pair and giving it time to establish will ensure that you see a great harvest in the next summer season! If you'd like to keep those sour fruits away from birds, aphids, caterpillars, slug worms, and many more critters, we absolutely recommend getting yours on a regular spray schedule!

How To Water

Water the Montmorency Sour Cherry regularly at least for the first growing season so that roots can become established.

How To Fertilize

Cherry tree are light feeders, so try not to over fertilize. Feed in the spring with our Elements Starter Plant Food in granular form.

How To Prune

For shape training and maintaining a great yield of fruit, prune regularly in early to mid spring. Once well trained, prune after the fruiting season.

How Does Shipping Work?

Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our large trees require expert delivery and care, that means our large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care.

We deliver your trees and plants directly to your driveway or curbside! Ask Bower & Branch about planting services and rates – we'd be happy to assist in installation.

*Big trees and shrubs, Size XL (A) and bigger, will take approximately 2 to 4 weeks to be delivered. - Sizes Large (AA) and smaller (Treelings, Shrubs, Bushes, and Perennials) will be shipped directly to your home by a local common carrier in a plant-safe box.

How Does Sizing Work?

The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)

Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.

All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
