Montmorency Cherry 
Hardy Cherry Plums 
These are the hybrids that were developed to stand the hard winters of 
Northern Wisconsin. They are the result of cross-breeding work done by the 
Minnesota and South Dakota Experiment Stations, to develop Cherries that 
would grow in sections where regular Cherries are not hardy. They ripen in 
August, have a small pit, and produce a fair quality of fruit. They are espe- 
cially good for jellies, jams and preserves. All are dwarf trees and heavy an- 
nual bearers. 
These hybrids must be cross fertilized to bear, 
therefore, plant several varieties in a group. 
~ OKA. Fruit is round, 1 inch diameter; purplish 
black skin, with a rich juicy purplish red meat. 
~ OPATA. Fruit oblong, 1 inch or more diameter, 
dark purplish skin and firm green flesh. A good 
grower. 
~ SAPA. Fruit round, 1 inch diameter; 
purplish red skin and meat. Very 
juicy.
