If you want a sour cherry that practically takes care of itself, the Northstar Sour Cherry (Prunus cerasus 'Northstar') is the one to plant. Developed by the University of Minnesota for extreme cold hardiness, Northstar is a compact, self-fertile tree that produces generous crops of dark red, richly flavored tart cherries year after year — even in climates that would send other cherries running.

The fruit is juicy, deeply flavored, and ideal for pies, preserves, and juices. Its naturally dwarf habit (typically 6–10 feet) makes it easy to maintain and harvest, and its resistance to cherry leaf spot sets it apart from less durable varieties. Whether you're planting your first edible tree or rounding out a serious home orchard, Northstar earns its keep every season.
