North Star cherry

[1] A dwarf cultivar, it typically grows 8 to 10 feet tall.

The North Star is excellent for baking, and makes superb wine.

Developed by the University of Minnesota, (the "North Star State"),[3][4][5] it is self-pollinizing (meaning only one tree is necessary).

[6] Cold-resistant, it is a heavy producer of mahogany-red, medium-sized fruit.

[7] In recent years, it has become a popular cherry variety for yards and gardens, as well as home cooking.
