Meteor Cherry
Cold-hardy beauty with a tangy twist.
Meteor is a standout tart cherry tree prized for its vivid spring blossoms, upright form, and bold, tangy fruit. This compact deciduous tree bursts into fragrant bloom each spring, drawing pollinators and setting the stage for a generous summer harvest. Its serrated green leaves and tidy growth habit make it as ornamental as it is productive.
Bred for resilience, Meteor thrives in northern climates where cold winters provide the chilling hours needed for reliable flowering. It’s a top performer in temperate regions, adapting well to backyard gardens and small orchards alike.
The cherries themselves are bright red, firm, and packed with classic sour cherry flavor—ideal for pies, preserves, and fresh snacking if you like a little pucker. With its combination of beauty, adaptability, and culinary appeal, Meteor is a stellar choice for growers who want reliable fruit and seasonal charm.
