History
The tree is named for Montmorency, a suburb of Paris, France.[1]
The tree produces large, light red fruit (although some trees produce a darker red fruit) and has been cultivated in the United States since at least the early 20th century. It is the most popular sour cherry in the United States and Canada, and is extensively used in cherry pies, as well as in jams and preserves.[3]
Montmorency cherries are also marketed in dried form, and Montmorency cherry juice and juice concentrate are also sold.
