Northstar Pie Cherry 
The following is taken from an article by Prof. T. S. Weir 
in the Minnesota Horticulturist (January 1951) when the 
official announcement of Northstar was made. 
“THE NORTHSTAR is a Morello type sour or pie cherry. 
The color is at first a bright red, but at maturity it changes 
to a dark glistening mahogany-red; the skin is medium tender 
and the flesh is juicy, tender and meaty; the flavor is pleas- 
antly acid and the quality good. The stone is small and is 
easily removed. 
Tomentosa). 
“The ripening season begins very early; about July 5 to 10 at 
the Fruit Breeding Farm (a few miles west of Minneapolis) 
The fruit will remain on the tree in good condition for about 
two weeks. 
“The tree is small but preductive and is self-fertile. It is rem 
sistant to leaf spot and apparently to brown rot diseases.
