The Montmorency cherry is a variety of sour cherry (Prunus cerasus) grown in Europe, Canada, United States , particularly in the Grand Traverse Bay region of Northwest Michigan, Door County, Wisconsin, and parts of Indian Administered Kashmir. Montmorency cherries are part of the lighter-red Amarelle cultivar of sour cherries, rather than the darker-red Morello cultivar.
