A natural dwarf, North Star Pie Cherry Tree tops out at about 10 ft. tall. An extra hardy tree, it is a reliable producer, often bearing a heavy crop in its second year. The fruits are large with red skin, red flesh and red juice. They keep their quality on the tree for up to 2-weeks after they ripen, and they hold their flavor during processing. North Star provides dependable, heavy harvests of cherries perfect for pies and preserves. Fruit ripens in mid to late July.
