I was under the impression that cherry pie should be made with sour cherries, which apparently have a very limited growing range. There was this legend about a sour cherry grower in Southern California that would sell at farmers markets in the LA area. But the time was very limited.

Most sour cherries are canned because of the limited season.
Farmers Markets: Fresh sour cherries are hard to find
A Utah farm provides more than 90% of the sour cherry supply at Southern California stores. But help might be on the way.

Love those too.
I always thought (perhaps incorrectly) cherry pies could have a range of filling like apple pie ?
I want to plant a sour cherry tree next...
I think it can be anything one wants to try out.
But traditional canned cherry pie fillings are made of sour cherries. And they only grow well in area where they'll get cold winters (like Michigan).
