Prunus cerasus 'Montmorency' is a popular cherry tree known for its large, bright red, amber-fleshed fruit, ideal for pies due to its sweet-tart flavor.

It is winter hardy to USDA zones 4-9 and features ornamental white spring blossoms that attract pollinators. The tree's adaptability and ornamental qualities make it a favorite for both fruit production and landscape use.
