The Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station introduced the Meteor, red tart cherry, in December, 1952. It is a cross between Montmorency and a very hardy, small-fruited, medium dark red, unnamed cherry obtained from the Dominion of Canada Agricultural Experiment Station, Morden, Manitoba. This new variety, together with Northstar, introduced in 1950, make cherry growing possible in Minnesota and other northern regions. Meteor is similar to Montmorency in size, appearance, and quality, and ripens about a week after Northstar.
