Prunus cerasus 'Montmorency' Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips Montmorency is self-fertile and requires no pollinator. The tree is vigorous and easy to grow. It is somewhat susceptible to cherry leaf spot, so try to control it as long as possible, but if it drops its leaves earlier in the summer, do not dispair, the tree will almost always come back with a nice crop the next year.

A Little History about Montmorency Tart Cherry Originated in France in the 17th Century and introduced to the United States in 1760. Grandpa grew and picked many Montmorency as a kid, and was glad when mechanical harvesting came along in the 1960's. Sure took the drudgery out of picking in the hot July days.
